  • Reinterpreting the Canadian Literary in English- Language Stage Adaptations of Canadian Fiction and Poetry from 1975-2011
    Staging Canlit: Reinterpreting the Canadian Literary in English- Language Stage Adaptations of Canadian Fiction and Poetry from 1975-2011 by Natalie Marie Corbett McCallum A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Natalie Marie Corbett McCallum 2012 Staging Canlit: Reinterpreting the Canadian Literary in English-Language Stage Adaptations of Canadian Fiction and Poetry from 1975-2011 Natalie Marie Corbett McCallum Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines theatrical adaptations of Canadian fiction and poetry performed on Canadian stages between 1975 and 2011. Treating the phenomenon of Canadian literary stage adaptations as a response to specifically Canadian environments of production and reception, this study considers how contextual pressures – whether the result of broad national, economic, and aesthetic trends, or unique material factors – have shaped adapters’ and audiences’ “horizons of expectations” in ways that promote the prioritization of particular visions of “Canadian literariness.” Through the use of three primary case studies comprising five theatrical adaptations, I identify several formal preoccupations that emerge in theatrical adaptation as the result of the Canadian theatre’s engagement with the perceived “literariness” of Canadian literature. In my first case study, I read the 1978 NDWT touring production of James Reaney’s adaptation of John Richardson’s novel Wacousta; Or, The Prophecy as a response to the concerns of thematic criticism, cultural nationalism, and related narratives of cultural maturation prevalent in the period. I then turn to the Canadian Opera Company’s 2004 adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and the 2007 National Arts Centre and Royal Shakespeare Company co-production of The Penelopiad.
