Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 2010.

The purpose of this study is to examine the practices of rewriting Aeschylus' tragedies for American audiences and the manner in which these rewrites are "read" by stage directors who adapt them in their academic and non-academic theatre productions in the United States. In order to analyze the translation and performance practices of Aeschylus' plays, this study will examine all English language translations, adaptations, and distant relatives of Aeschylus' works for the twenty and twenty-first centuries and analyze key moments that connect and illuminate those works. The two central questions that drive this investigation are: (1) what kind of choices have the English-speaking translators made regarding the tragedies of Aeschylus, and (2) how have Aeschylus' tragedies been rewritten by the practitioners of the American stage?

520 $a The purpose of this study is to examine the practices of rewriting Aeschylus' tragedies for American audiences and the manner in which these rewrites are "read" by stage directors who adapt them in their academic and non-academic theatre productions in the United States. In order to analyze the translation and performance practices of Aeschylus' plays, this study will examine all English language translations, adaptations, and distant relatives of Aeschylus' works for the twenty and twenty-first centuries and analyze key moments that connect and illuminate those works. The two central questions that drive this investigation are: (1) what kind of choices have the English-speaking translators made regarding the tragedies of Aeschylus, and (2) how have Aeschylus' tragedies been rewritten by the practitioners of the American stage?
520 $a Because of the proliferation and variance of Aeschylean translations into English, and research published to-date, an examination of these practices and texts provides a rich source for analyzing the larger issues of practice and critical evaluation of translation and performance. The seven tragedies of Aeschylus (Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides, Prometheus Bound, Persians, Suppliants, and Seven Against Thebes) and the manner in which they plays have been interpreted by translators and producers from 1900 to 2009 will provide the data for this study.
