Writing adaptations an‎d translations for the stage

زبان و ادبيات انگليسي

The book "Writing adaptations an‎d translations for the stage" by Jacqueline Goldfinger an‎d Alison Horsley is a practical guide for all artists an‎d enthusiasts in this field. Routledge published this book in 2023. Its prominent features include a simple an‎d engaging style, innovative content, an‎d rich an‎d diverse material. With a deep understan‎ding of the challenges in this field, the authors present a creative an‎d step-by-step approach that goes beyond old an‎d less useful norms, emphasizing the diversity of methods an‎d the use of practical experiences. This book covers important processes such as brainstorming, writing an adaptation, translation, production, case studies, an‎d adaptation in other performative modes. In the translation process, Newmarkʹs communicative approach (1988) has been adopted as the basis, an‎d efforts have been made to effectively convey the message to the audience by prioritizing readability, fluency, an‎d cultural versatility. This required cultural equivalence, clarification of ambiguities, an‎d, in some cases, the use of creative solutions to preserve the function an‎d impact of the original text. Given the lack of similar resources in Iran, the translation of this book can be an important step towards improving the quality of performing arts an‎d facilitating knowledge exchange between Iranian an‎d non-Iranian artists. This work is recommended as a valuable resource for students, teachers, an‎d artists in theater an‎d even other disciplines.
