Description

Hypertheatre: Contemporary Radical Adaptation of Greek Tragedy explores how classical drama transforms for the modern stage. Part of the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series, this book examines the role of adaptation as a polemical tool to address current social and political issues. The text introduces the concept of the 'hyperplay,' a term used to describe a new construct created by breaking drama into constituent parts. By revising, reinterpreting, and rewriting original works, creators produce something culturally relevant for today's world. This study investigates how these radical shifts change the way audiences engage with ancient stories. Through a collection of postmodern adaptations of famous works like Antigone and Medea, the book provides a deep look into how traditional narratives are repurposed. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the evolution of performing arts and the intersection of classical literature with contemporary performance theory.
