  • Macbeth in World Cinema: Selected Film and Tv Adaptations
    International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) ISSN 2249-6912 Vol. 3, Issue 1, Mar 2013, 179-188 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. MACBETH IN WORLD CINEMA: SELECTED FILM AND TV ADAPTATIONS RITU MOHAN 1 & MAHESH KUMAR ARORA 2 1Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India 2Associate Professor, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India ABSTRACT In the rich history of Shakespearean translation/transcreation/appropriation in world, Macbeth occupies an important place. Macbeth has found a long and productive life on Celluloid. The themes of this Bard’s play work in almost any genre, in any decade of any generation, and will continue to find their home on stage, in film, literature, and beyond. Macbeth can well be said to be one of Shakespeare’s most performed play and has enchanted theatre personalities and film makers. Much like other Shakespearean works, it holds within itself the most valuable quality of timelessness and volatility because of which the play can be reproduced in any regional background and also in any period of time. More than the localization of plot and character, it is in the cinematic visualization of Shakespeare’s imagery that a creative coalescence of the Shakespearean, along with the ‘local’ occurs. The present paper seeks to offer some notable (it is too difficult to document and discuss all) adaptations of Macbeth . The focus would be to provide introductory information- name of the film, country, language, year of release, the director, star-cast and the critical reception of the adaptation among audiences.

  • Macbeth in André Barsacq's 1952 Crimson Curtain
    Shakespeare on Screen in Francophonia Macbeth in André Barsacq’s 1952 Crimson Curtain: Mise en Abyme & Transgression of the Metadramatic Threshold 1 Patricia DORVAL “What comes out backstage while the play is being performed behind the curtain just a few feet away is quite unbelievable” 2 1 André Barsacq’s Crimson Curtain, released in 1952, less than a decade after Marcel Carné’s celebrated Les Enfants du paradis [The Children of Paradise] (France, 1945) and only shortly after George Cukor’s A Double Life (USA, 1947) is a film noir masterpiece all too unfamiliar to modern critics which I have had the chance to retrieve from oblivion. Very little has been written about the film, even at the time it came out. The story involves a troupe of thespians putting on Shakespeare’s Macbeth and concentrates on the evening of the premiere. The main and central inset theatrical element, the Shakespearean play-within-the-film, functions as a reflexive reproduction in miniature of the embedding storyline, making the mise en abyme the very bedrock on which the film is built. But Barsacq’s work is furthermore fraught with other secondary embedding devices whether they stem from micro-dramatic insets (excerpts of scenes- within), film scenery, stage scenery or shot composition. It follows that The Crimson Curtain is first and foremost a formidable multilayered millefeuille. 3 Now Barsacq strives at making the frontier between the different layers acoustically porous by having the Shakespearean plot-within relentlessly seep through and end up swamping the primary fiction while at the very same time having words and other sounds from the story-“without” gush forth onto the stageboards.

  • Shakespeare in Color: a Symposium on Macbeth and African American Performances and Appropriations” Will Be Held Friday, Jan
    Macbeth Symposium Rhodes College, January 25, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—January 7, 2008 Rhodes College to Host Symposium on Macbeth and African American Performances and Appropriations (Memphis, Tenn.)—National scholars, local artists, a film director and a Hollywood actor will participate in a conversation at Rhodes College about so-called ‘non-traditional’ casting of Shakespeare's plays and African American artists who have adapted Macbeth in their works. “Shakespeare in Color: A Symposium on Macbeth and African American Performances and Appropriations” will be held Friday, Jan. 25, in Blount Auditorium from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public. The symposium is presented in conjunction with local productions of Shakespeare's Macbeth by Hattiloo Theatre and Verdi's Macbeth by Opera Memphis. Directors of the stage productions—Rhodes Theatre Professor Julia “Cookie” Ewing and Larry Marshall—will be panelists at the Rhodes symposium, along with actors and singers from both opera and play. The Rhodes Jazz Ensemble will perform selections from Duke Ellington’s Shakespearean suite, Such Sweet Thunder, at the closing reception. Macbeth, Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy, has frequently been adapted. African Americans appearing in Shakespearean roles can be traced as early as 1821 when the African Grove Theater in New York presented Richard III; Ira Aldridge, one of the company’s leading performers, would go on to a successful expatriate career playing Shakespearean roles in England, including Macbeth. In 1936, Orson Welles directed an all-African American cast in Macbeth at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, New York; this production later toured the nation.

The research focuses first on establishing key differences between tragedy and comedy with special attention to the fundamental tragic characteristics of Macbeth in its original form. The study then turns to close examination of three notable comedic adaptations of Macbeth, assessing the adapting playwrights’ specific approaches and techniques as well as the cultural/social commentaries they effectively communicate through their comical conversions. The thesis culminates in an understanding of the immense power in comically retelling tragic stories. i I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis.

  • Shakespearean Performance As a Multilingual Event: Alterity, Authenticity, Liminality
    Shakespearean Performance as a Multilingual Event: Alterity, Authenticity, Liminality alexa huang1 … why do you dress me In borrowed robes? Macbeth 1.3.108–92 The age of global Shakespeare 2.0 has arrived. It is an age in which national and transnational performances become self-conscious of the contact zone they inhabit, where dramatic meanings are co- determined by linguistic cohesion and pluralism. If Jacques Derrida’s theory of translation makes all writing inherently multilingual, Shakespeare performances as multilingual events at home and abroad complicate the idea of translation and cultural differ- ence. The business of performing Shakespeare has grown into a multilingual affair since the 1990s, as transnational connections and touring have become not only more desirable but necessary for artistic inspiration and success. In order to address these issues, two frames of reference are useful here: ethnic American performances in New York and international festivals in London. This essay comprises one case study of each of these: John R. Briggs’s Shogun Macbeth (1985) and the London Globe’s multilingual World Shakespeare Festival, which was timed to coincide with the 2012 Olympics. Each of these frames of refer- ence shows how meanings, both intended and unintended, are generated as a result of the shifting cultural and linguistic ten- sions that inhabit translated Shakespeare from Asian-American to 26475_MGQ_Saenger.indd 190 14-07-24 11:29 AM Shakespearean Performance as a Multilingual Event 191 post- imperial British cosmopolitan identities. This hermeneutic is informed not just by the original play, but also by the adaptor’s intent, the improvisation and identities of performers, the econom- ics of touring, and the population shifts apparent in the audience, as well as divergent perceptions of intercultural identities.
