Description:
This book reviews the "playing" of Shakespeare in which there is a re-staging and a re-writing -- through adaptation, appropriation, or acculturation -- of the Western Shakespeare into worlds of Asian theatre languages, considering stagings in Japan, China, India, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Review Quotes:
"This rich and thought-provoking collection is a welcome and timely addition to recent studies focussing on Shakespeare in Asia and charting, more generally, what Trivedi aptly describes as a 'surge of creativity in Asian theatre'." - Sonia Massai, Theatre Research International
