Most plays are adaptations of one sort or another. Shakespeare adapted Holinshed's histories. O'Neill adapted the Oresteia. Peter Shaffer adapts from
18th century gossip (Amadeus) and 20th century radio reports (Equus). In this workshop, we'll discuss adaptations of novels, non-fiction, and other plays, as
well as write our own one-act adaptations of the best-known story in Western Civilization.
