Adaptations (theatre, film)

Adaptations in theatre and film refer to the process of transforming a story from one medium, such as a novel, play, or real-life event, into another. This involves reinterpreting the original material to suit the strengths and constraints of the new format, often by modifying dialogue, setting, or structure. For example, a book may be adapted into a screenplay by focusing on visual storytelling and pacing suitable for live or cinematic presentation. Effective adaptations preserve the core themes and characters while making necessary adjustments to provide an engaging experience tailored to the specific medium.
