Theater adaptation

Theater adaptation is the process of transforming a story from one medium, such as a novel, film, or play, into a live stage performance. This involves reinterpreting the narrative, characters, and themes to suit the unique qualities of theater, like live acting and audience engagement. Adaptations can vary in faithfulness to the original work, allowing for creative liberties to enhance emotional impact or contemporary relevance. Successful adaptations capture the essence of the source material while making it accessible and engaging for a theater audience.
