Gay's The Beggar's Opera , with its mixture of witty dialogue and popular songs, was imitated by 18th century writers, criticized by those on the seats of power, but remained a favourite of the English theatre public ever since. With N. Playfair's 1920 revival and B. Brecht's and K. Weill's 1928 Dreigroschenoper , Gay's play has been a starting-point for dramatists such as V. Havel ( Zebrácká opera , 1975), W. Soyinka ( Opera Wonyosi , 1977), Ch. Buarque ( Ópera do Malandro , 1978), D. Fo ( L'opera dello sghignazzo , 1981), A. Ayckbourn ( A Chorus of Disapproval , 1984), as well as others such as Latouche, Hacks, Fassbinder, Dear, Wasserman, and Lepage. Apart from contributions by international scholars analysing the above-named plays, the editors' introduction covers other dramatists that have payed hommage to Gay. This interdisciplinary collection of essays is of particular interest for scholars working in the field of drama/theatre studies, the eighteenth century, contemporary drama, postcolonial studies, and politics and the stage. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur allgemeinen und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v105. 606 $aEnglish drama$y18th century 615 0$aEnglish drama 676 $a822/.509 701 $aBoker$b Uwe$01750036 701 $aDetmers$b Ines$01643791 701 $aGiovanopoulos$b Anna-Christina$01750037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825227903321 996 $aJohn Gay's The Beggar's Opera, 1728-2004$94184552 997 $aUNINA
