المستخلص

Young, independent theatre-makers have attempted to adapt classical texts to a more contemporary context. This study emphasizes their endeavors through a comparative study of six Egyptian performances of Hamlet. It is concluded that this adaptation of texts is currently a dominant cultural trend which, in turn, remarks the strong tradition already in existence.
