Extraordinary in his capacity for cultural and linguistic adjustment, he directed productions in twelve countries, always adapting shows to make them meaningful to local audiences. Notably, Bennewitz conducted stagings of Goethe's Faust in four different languages over a series of seven productions - three in pre-unification Weimar, one in the reunited Germany, and one each in New York, Manila, and Mumbai. The first comprehensive account of Bennewitz's remarkable career, Bennewitz, Goethe, Faust is also a pioneering study of intercultural interpretations of Faust. David G. John brings to light previously unknown archival materials - including annotated playbooks, correspondence, translations, videos, and reception information - as well as unpublished production photos from the stagings discussed in the book. Bennewitz, Goethe, Faust makes a cogent argument for this director's place alongside the twentieth century's greatest theatre innovators. 410 0$aGerman and European studies. 606 $aTheater$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIntercultural communication in the performing arts$zGermany 606 $aTheatrical producers and directors$zGermany$vBiography 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aIntercultural communication in the performing arts 615 0$aTheatrical producers and directors 676 $a792.02/33092 700 $aJohn$b David Gethin$f1947-$01522693 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779177403321 996 $aBennewitz, Goethe, Faust$93824425 997 $aUNINA
