Abstract:Adaptation has played a role in the evolution of artistic civilisation from ancient times—be it prose to stage, or poem to play, or translation from one language into another language. It has brought with it both practical and aesthetic dilemmas. Should novelistic adaptation adhere to the principle of “make it new”? Can the stage accord a finer, “truer” meaning to the work from which it was adapted? Or should the play strive to remain loyal to its source, replicating character, story and nuance as proximately as possible, albeit in a different medium?
