Sulayman Al Bassam is one of the world's leading contemporary
dramatists. His adaptations of Shakespeare, performed around the
world, have won many awards and met with widespread acclaim on four
continents. This volume brings together for the first time three of
Al Bassam's adaptations of Shakespearean plays - including versions
of Hamlet, Richard III and Twelfth Night - collectively known as
The Arab Shakespeare Trilogy. The al-Hamlet Summit sees the
familiar characters of Hamlet reborn as delegates placed in a
conference room in an unnamed modern Arab state on the brink of
war; Richard III: an Arab Tragedy is a contemporary adaptation of
Shakespeare's classic, reworked and transplanted into the scorching
oil-rich Islamic world of the Gulf; while The Speaker's Progress is
a forensic reconstruction of Twelfth Night which transforms into an
unequivocal act of defiance towards the state, forming a dark
satire on the decades of hopelessness and political inertia that
fed twenty-first-century revolts across the Arab region.The Arab
Shakespeare Trilogy features an editorial introduction and
annotation by Graham Holderness, positioning the plays within the
contexts of both modern Shakespearean drama and Arab culture as
well as an author's preface by Sulayman Al Bassam, detailing the
plays' history of theatrical reception and outlining his philosophy
of Shakespeare adaptation.
