Roméo et Juliette: de la Haine à l'Amour: A Controversial Adaptation

This essay examines the adaptation strategies adopted in Gérard Presgurvic's critically controversial Roméo et Juliette: de la Haine à l'Amour (2001). It investigates the factors which brought about the controversial response in France in 2001, analyzing the reception of the show from three perspectives: the audience, the critics, and the subsequent adaptors of the work. The essay also discusses the reasons for the negative reaction to its adaptation in 2002 in England, the country where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was staged for the first time.
