Thesis (M.A.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2002.

This thesis is an investigation of the dramaturgy of Shakespeare appropriation in two Canadian plays; namely, Michael O'Brien's Mad Boy Chronicle (1995) and Djanet Sears's Harlem Duet (1998). Arguing that the appropriation and adaptation of Shakespeare by contemporary playwrights is an important and imperfectly understood form of cultural and theatrical production, it examines the potential for conscripting Shakespeare's cultural authority in order to challenge that very authority. Each play is located in relation to its Shakespearean parent text and in light of contemporary critical schools of thought such as cultural materialism, feminism, and post-colonial studies.

520 $a This thesis is an investigation of the dramaturgy of Shakespeare appropriation in two Canadian plays; namely, Michael O'Brien's Mad Boy Chronicle (1995) and Djanet Sears's Harlem Duet (1998). Arguing that the appropriation and adaptation of Shakespeare by contemporary playwrights is an important and imperfectly understood form of cultural and theatrical production, it examines the potential for conscripting Shakespeare's cultural authority in order to challenge that very authority. Each play is located in relation to its Shakespearean parent text and in light of contemporary critical schools of thought such as cultural materialism, feminism, and post-colonial studies.
520 $a While recognizing that every performance of or reference to Shakespeare is in some way an appropriation, this thesis focuses on appropriation as dramaturgy, that is, the ways in which playwrights make use of Shakespeare, and the strategies they use to contest his considerable cultural authority and claim a space of their own. Furthermore, it is the first extensive critical study of either of these important recent Canadian plays.
