Table of ContentsReviews'As an introduction to this new approach, Lowe leaves us with a number of potential avenues for future exploration and academic research. Although there are a few suggestions listed in the book, such as a re-examination of the films of Basil Dean, further analysis of the theatre-to-cinema live broadcast and the investigation of stage productions of British film, this method will provide the inspiration for further academic analysis in both theatre and film studies. Lowe's accessible writing style makes this not only an informative but also a pleasurable read for everyone with an interest in performances on either stage or screen.' -- Georgia Brown, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television The author offers very good readings and analysis of a wide range of texts from well-known classics to more obscure works, spanning the popular, the populist and the avant-garde. It is thrilling to read a book that can discuss Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock in one place and Robert Lepage or Ivo van Hove in another ... It is an exciting volume that plugs an important gap in current cross-media scholarship. -- Richard Hand, Professor of Media Practice at the University of East Anglia and Editor of the Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance This book offers an original analysis which emphasizes performance and event (rather than literary texts) as the basis for analyzing different examples of adaptation. In terms of case studies, it offers interesting and worthwhile insights into some quite familiar material but also takes on relatively new examples of the exchange between theatre and film in its discussion of live-casting and the recent dominance of staged films in British theatre ... an excellent account of an important topic. -- Christine Geraghty, Professor of Film and Television, University of Glasgow, Author InformationVictoria Lowe is a lecturer in drama and screen studies at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. Her research interests include stage/screen adaptation, theatricality in the cinema, intermediality, screen acting and stardom and the voice in cinema.
