How is a Shakespearean play transformed when it is directed for the
screen? In this 2004 book, Sarah Hatchuel uses literary criticism,
narratology, performance history, psychoanalysis and semiotics to
analyse how the plays are fundamentally altered in their screen
versions. She identifies distinct strategies chosen by film
directors to appropriate the plays. Instead of providing just
play-by-play or film-by-film analyses, the book addresses the main
issues of theatre/film aesthetics, making such theories and
concepts accessible before applying them to practical cases. Her
book also offers guidelines for the study of sequences in
Shakespearean adaptations and includes examples from all the major
films from the 1899 King John, through the adaptations by Olivier,
Welles and Branagh, to Taymor's 2000 Titus and beyond. This book is
aimed at scholars, teachers and students of Shakespeare and film
studies, providing a clear and logical apparatus with which to
examine Shakespearean screen adaptations.
