First contact: early Chinese encounters with Western drama -- Black slave's cry to heaven, the birth cry of modern Chinese drama, and a group of post-80s amateurs in search of a director -- Guess who's coming: Brecht, Beckett, Miller, and the revival of modern Chinese drama -- Tragic hero and hero tragedy: reimagining classic Greek drama as Chinese Xiqu today -- Old man Shakespeare, the All but forgotten Shaw, and the importance of being Oscar Wilde -- An old "mentor and friend" from afar: adapting classic Russian drama for the Chinese stage -- The Tragic, the comic, the absurd, and the "Grand Feast" of French classics.

"Adapting Western Classics for the Chinese Stage presents a comprehensive study of transnational, transcultural, and translingual adaptations of Western classics, from the turn of the twentieth century to present-day China in the age of globalisation. Supported by a wide range of in-depth research, this book: - Examines the complex dynamics between texts, both dramatic and sociohistorical; contexts, both domestic and international; and intertexts, Western classics and their Chinese re-interpretations in huaju and/or traditional Chinese xiqu; - Contemplates Chinese adaptations of a range of Western dramatic works, including Greek, English, Russian and French; - Presents case studies of key Chinese adaptation endeavours, including the 1907 adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin by the Spring Willow Society and the 1990 adaptation of Hamlet by Lin Zhaohua; - Lays out a history of uneasy convergence of East and West, complicated by tensions between divergent socio-political forces and cultural proclivities. Drawing on disciplines and critical perspectives including theatre and adaptation studies, comparative literature, translation studies, reception theory, post-colonialism, and intertextuality, this book is key reading for students and researchers in any of these fields"--
