Motoyama, Tesuhito
Re-Imagining Shakespeare - in contemporary japan / Tesuhito Motoyama ; Rosalind Fielding & Fumiaki Konno - 1st edition - Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 2022. - 315p. ; 20cm
An anthology of three exciting Japanese adaptations of Shakespeare that engage with issues such as changing family values, racial diversity, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and terrorism, together with a contextualizing introduction. The anthology makes contemporary Japanese adaptations of Shakespeare by three independent theatre companies available to a wider English language audience. The three texts are concerned with the social issues Japan faces today and Japan’s perception of its cultural history. This unique collection is thus both a valuable resource for the fields of Shakespeare and adaptation studies as well as for a better understanding of contemporary Japanese theatre.
