theatre adaptation

Theatre adaptation refers to the process of taking a story from another medium, such as a novel, film, or historical event, and transforming it into a stage play. This involves reinterpreting the original material to fit the unique aspects of live performance, including dialogue, staging, and character development. Adaptations can retain the original's themes and messages while offering fresh perspectives or insights. Successful theatre adaptations resonate with audiences, combining fidelity to the source material with creative expression to enhance the narrative for a live audience.
