National University,Canberra,in July 1979.Asthe title of the volume suggests,the conference was princi-pally concerned with problems of dramatic change:with whathappens when plays from the modern European repertoire areperformed in countries or times or media other than thosefor which they were originally intended.Superficially,drama may seem,especially in the modern world,to be one ofthe most international of all art-forms,freely travellingacross national and cultural boundaries.Yet plays also ob-viously undergo a variety of changes,linguistic and other-wise,as they pass from one social context to another,andas time brings about its own changes in","cbCaiuG1k2Yz9vrC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuG1k2Yz9vrC","pdf",17376867,191,"English","# Preface\n# Contents\n## Translation,
