Amazon.com: Love's Fire: Seven New Plays Inspired by Seven Shakespearean Sonnets: Books These seven plays, each paired with the sonnet that inspired it, are startling not only in the variety of their mood, content, and setting, but also in their unusual interpretation. The sonnets and plays in Loves' Fire are the seeds and fruit of an extraordinary project: seven sonnets by Shakespeare, newly envisioned for the stage, in one-act plays by seven brilliantly gifted contemporary playwrights. Some of the plays are musical so they don't translate well to paper. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0688161723?v=glance   (1081 words)

Shakespeare on Film & Video: Books in the UC Berkeley Library As a contemporary adaptation of a Shakespearean comedy, the movie occupies an uneasy position in historical terms as it both bears witness to the birth of modern romantic comedy and stands side by side with the genre's latest representations. Family romance is at core of Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of 'Hamlet.' This is evident in his casting of actors Mel Gibson and Glenn Close in the principal roles, his manipulation of space and landscape, his alteration of the text and his approach to editing. Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' is ultimately disappointing because it excises most of the elements in the play that contribute to the character Hamlet's ambiguities, especially the political dimension that helps to explain his hesitation. lib.berkeley.edu /MRC/ShakespeareBib.html   (13210 words)

UWM English Department Courses We will examine a number of critical approaches to Shakespeare, including common problems with Shakespearean language, Renaissance dramatic conventions, historical contexts, source material, differences between early published texts, stage history, film adaptations, and the plays in performance. Rather than valuing these plays as objects which seem to transcend conflict and history, we will examine how these texts remain deeply immersed in the political life of their time. It is through reapproaching these Shakespearean texts as sites of ongoing debate and negotiation that we will hopefully locate in and through these texts points of resistance and possibilities for social change. www.uwm.edu /Dept/English/fall1998/f98netzloff.shtml   (261 words)

Graduate Student Profile - Musicology Durrell "invented a notation system for the music so the melodic contours could be analyzed and compared." Although the project gave him useful computer skills, it was some distance from current music in film adaptations of Shakespearean plays. When that conversation took place, Durrell says, the usual route to a PhD in musicology was "picking an obscure Renaissance composer and doing a life and works." Durrell, on the other hand, was proposing a dissertation at the University of Toronto about the music in film adaptations of Shakespearean plays. For example, he provided a descriptive list of themes and asked his students to identify them in a series of video clips. www.gdnet.ucla.edu /asis/profile/mugy.htm   (793 words)
