De l'Age classique jusqu'aux prémices de la modernité, le goût du merveilleux, du magique et du surnaturel est essentiel au spectacle théâtral. Le présent ouvrage envisage les rapports entre le conte merveilleux et les arts du spectacle, allant des tragédies lyriques de la fin du XVIIe siècle aux féeries romantiques et aux premières tentatives cinématographiques du XIXe siècle. Contes de fées et contes orientaux collaborent activement à l'invention d'un merveilleux scénique, empruntant à la farce, à la sotie, à la parade, aux comédies allégoriques et jusqu'aux spectacles de lanternes magiques leurs dispositifs théâtralisés. Comédie-Française, Théâtre-Italien, Foire et Boulevards accueillent Les Mille et Une Nuits, montent et remontent Le Petit Pouces ou Barbe bleue, leur inventant une oralité nouvelle et les colorant d'irrespect ou d'érotisme. Déconstruction de l'illusion, subversion de la croyance, virtuosité dans l'artifice, jeu calculé avec les rêves du peuple et les projections des élites ; théâtre et conte n'auront jamais cessé de s'entendre pendant plus de trois siècles.

This book examines the dramatic rewritings that emerged in the period 1970-2007, during which stage adaptations flourished in Ireland. The year 1970 marked the beginning of a significant theatrical renaissance in Ireland, recalling that which occurred in the early twentieth century. This renewal was characterized by the prominence of major playwrights such as Brian Friel, Tom Murphy and Thomas Kilroy.The essays collected in this volume seek to provide new perspectives on theatre adaptation in Ireland, while shedding light on the particular features of the contemporary Irish theatre landscape. Far from being an exhaustive history of theatre adaptation, these articles, using differing methodologies, investigate the many ways in which adaptation has left its imprint on Irish theatre since the 1970s.Appended to this book is a DVD that offers excerpts from a staged reading of Enda Walsh's Pondlife Angels. This DVD also includes the recording of a roundtable discussion, in which two Irish directors express their views on contemporary Irish theatre.

David Garrick was an assiduous reader and collector of older English, and to some extent French plays and we can see him looking backwards, searching out and buying extant play collections offered for sale. Some of these plays he remodeled and imitated for his company. Looking forward, beyond him, we can see that his work was in turn admired, read, and subsequently translated and imitated. Garrick the reader became Garrick the read. He forms, therefore, a bridge in the movement and development of comedy in the eighteenth century.Alan Swanson brings his considerable knowledge of theater and lin
