Shakespeare’s tragedies have been performed in the Sinophone
world for over two centuries. Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear are
three of the most frequently adapted plays. They have been
re-imagined as political theatre, comedic parody, Chinese opera,
avant-garde theatre, and experimental theatre in Hong Kong, China,
and Taiwan. This ground-breaking anthology features the first
English translations of seven influential adaptations from 1987 to
2007 across a number of traditional and modern performance genres
in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taipei. Each of the book's
three sections offers a pair of two contrasting versions of each
tragedy - in two distinct genres - for comparative analysis. This
anthology is an indispensable tool for the teaching and research of
Sinophone theatre's engagement with Western classics in the late
twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Â
