520 |a For those who adapt literature into scripts, this is a how-to guide that illuminates the process of creating a stageworthy play. The book describes the essential steps for constructing adaptations for any theatrical venue, from the college classroom to a professionally produced production. The author offers students in theater, literary studies, and creative writing a guide on adaptation. Its step-by-step process will be valuable to professional theater artists as well, and for script writers in any medium. The book defines six essential building blocks and strategies for a successful adaptation, including theme, dialogue, character, imagery, storyline, and action. Exercises at the end of each chapter lead readers through the transformation process, from choosing their material to creating their own adaptations. The book provides case studies of successful adaptations, including The Grapes of Wrath (adaptation by Frank Galati) and the author's own adaptations of stories by Samuel Beckett and John Barth. Also included is practical information on building collaborative relationships, acquiring rights, and getting your adaptation produced.--description adapted from publisher's website.
