While film and theatre studies have established their own critical terms and theoretical frames of reference, the potential for dialogue and reciprocity between these two art forms is often undermined by the absence of a shared vocabulary. This book sets out to remedy this by comprehensively and systematically mapping out a transmedial space in which both film and theatre can be discussed. This approach also produces a valuable framework for understanding and evaluating the processes and products involved in stage-to-screen and screen-to-stage transfer by drawing upon the discipline of adaptation; a commercially vibrant, artistically rich but analytically imprecise domain. Keywords and critical terms form the central structure of this study, helping to root the areas of commonality between film and theatre in relevant, applied contexts. Students and scholars of film, literature and theatre will find fresh insights into the ways in which their respective media communicate dramatic performances and the various interfaces between these closely related disciplines.
