Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performa Rewriting Narratives in Egyptian Theatre: Translation, Performance, Politics, (Hardcover)

This study of Egyptian theatre and its narrative construction explores how representations of Egypt are created of and within theatrical means. Essays address the narratives that structure theatrical, textual, and performative representations and various aspects of the rewriting process. Drawing from Theatre and Performance Studies, Translation Studies, Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Diaspora Studies, articles focus on how theatre texts and performances are rewritten when crossing borders. They study the process of rewriting, representations of foreign plays on stage, and representations of the Egyptian revolution, bringing vital coverage to developments in theatre translation.
