Dialogue between film and theatre studies is frequently hampered by the lack of a shared vocabulary. Stage-Play and Screen-Play sets out to remedy this; mapping out an intermedial space in which both film and theatre might be examined. Each chapterrsquo;s evaluation of the processes and products of stage-to-screen and screen-to-stage transfer is grounded in relevant; applied contexts. Michael Ingham draws upon the growing field of adaptation studies to present case studies ranging from Martin McDonaghrsquo;s The Cripple of Inishmaan and RSC Liversquo;s simulcast of Richard II to F.W. Murnaursquo;s silent Tartuuml;ff; Peter Bogdanovichrsquo;s film adaptation of Michael Fraynrsquo;s Noises Off; and Akiro Kurosawarsquo;s Ran; highlighting the multiple interfaces between media. Offering a fresh insight into the ways in which film and theatre communicate dramatic performances; this volume is a must-read for students and scholars of stage and screen.
