My dissertation looks at adaptation of plays by Shakespeare in African and Asian contexts. It focuses on how and why certain writers from a post-colonial background use Shakespeare as a basis for their adaptation. I consider contemporary adaptations from the 1960s to the 1990s. My aim is to focus on adaptations that are distinctly indigenous in terms of place and time, but remain connected to an influential Shakespearean play. I focus on adaptations that were written during the post-colonial period in order to investigate how literary adaptations are mediated through politically diverse landscapes both in Africa and Asia.

520 $a These adaptations form two major responses to the challenges surrounding the colonial / post-colonial period. The first wave represents 'writing back' to the colonial power through an engagement with Shakespearean characters. The purpose of these adaptations is to raise the status of the colonized culture and its members. In this group are plays by Aime Cesaire, Ong Keng Sen and Welcome Msomi. The second-wave represents an aesthetic response focusing on language and aiming to address the political and cultural landscape after the departure of the colonial power. In this group are plays by Dev Virahsawmy, Hugues Serge Limbvani, Pieter-Dirk Uys and Sony Labou Tansi. These varied responses to plays such as The Tempest, Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet give a different perspective to adaptations and their political uses.
