The astutely organised material gives us insight into the creative and collaborative process and serves as critical provocation. In the process of this volume we see adaptation at the heart of the devising, rehearsal and performance contexts and we engage with an impressively wide-ranging, and indeed global, group of theatre directors, companies and audiences in the process. Exploratory and experimental but always political and ethical in its stance on adaptation as a collective labour, this volume provides new frameworks for debate and practice in adaptation studies.' - \u003cb\u003eJulie Sanders, \u003c\/b\u003ePro-Vice-Chancellor, Newcastle University, UK\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e 'Kara Reilly's carefully crafted and thought-provoking book is a welcome addition to the debate on stage adaptations.
