Structured around modes in which one might encounter Asian-themed
performances and adaptations, Shakespeare and East Asia identifies
four themes that distinguish post-1950s East Asian cinemas and
theatres from works in other parts of the world: Japanese
formalistic innovations in sound and spectacle; reparative
adaptations from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; the politics of
gender and reception of films and touring productions in South
Korea and the UK; and multilingual, diaspora works in Singapore and
the UK. These adaptations break new ground in sound and spectacle;
they serve as a vehicle for artistic and political remediation or,
in some cases, the critique of the myth of reparative
interpretations of literature; they provide a forum where diasporic
artists and audiences can grapple with contemporary issues; and,
through international circulation, they are reshaping debates about
the relationship between East Asia and Europe. Bringing film and
theatre studies together, this book sheds new light on the two
major genres in a comparative context and reveals deep structural
and narratological connections among Asian and Anglophone
performances. These adaptations are products of metacinematic and
metatheatrical operations, contestations among genres for primacy,
or experimentations with features of both film and theatre.
