LRP January Meme: Stage/Film Adaptation


All the world's a stage. - As You Like It, William Shakespeare

Freebie month, eh? For you guys who have had a tough time with Shakespeare, here's a grand relief. For those who have been in love with Shakespeare, you are free, I guess, to read more and more of him. Everyone's happy.

This month's theme is also quite as free. Plays are meant to be performed. There are hundreds of films out there which are based on plays. There are equally more stage performance of the plays, well-known or not. All we need to do is:

  • Feature an adaptation you love the most
  • Compare several adaptations that you have watched
  • Make a review of the adaptation, commenting on the interpretation of the play
  • Or anything else related to the play's stage/film adaptation


As usual, you may do one or several, and you are free to make more than one post in a month. Moreover, you may make this for each play that you read on January.

So, have fun and enjoy your reading (and watching)!

Please put your link(s) down here. Use the format: Play - Adaptation (Blog name). For example Merchant of Venice - Merchant of Venice 2004 (Half-Filled Attic). You can write in any language you like (that's why we have Google Translate). 

1. Twelfth Night (Surgabukuku)  4. Romeo and Juliet - Romeo + Juliet 1996 (NgidamBuku)  
2. Carlo Gozzi’s Il Re Cervo (Severalfourmany)  5. Six Characters in Search of an Author (Bacaan B.Zee)  
3. Cyrano de Bergerac - Cyrano de Bergerac 2000 (Half-Filled Attic)
