This is the first extended treatment of the English translations,
stagings, and reception of the political plays of Dario Fo and
Franca Rame. Focusing on the United Kingdom and the United States,
Stefania Taviano offers a critique of the cultural stereotyping and
political conservatism that have pursued these playwrights in
translation and argues for the possibility of remaining true to Fo
and Rame's political commitment while preserving the comic nature
of their plays. Taviano shows how the choices made by the
translators and stagers of Fo and Rame's political theatre reveal
attitudes toward foreign cultures and theatre generally and Italy
in particular. Among the questions she poses are 'What
characterizes the process of acculturation that takes place when
political theatre is transposed from one culture to another?' 'To
what extent are images of foreign literary production affected by
dominant translation practices and theatre traditions?' Perhaps
most important, 'What constitutes political theatre in a given
society, and how are such definitions used to categorize and
contain theatre texts that are disturbing, challenging, and
difficult to stage?' Her book concludes with an investigation of
the meaning of Fo and Rame's political theatre today that points
the way for future critical studies of the politics behind the
translation and stage production of political theatre outside its
culture of origin.
