AB  - Explores how two recent adaptations of Shakespeare’s Roman plays in Iran, There Will Be Blood (2019, based on Titus Andronicus) and Coriolanus (2019 and 2020), adapt Shakespeare's texts for contemporary Iran. Argues that Shakespeare's Roman plays offer opportunity for Iranian theatre directors to address contemporary political issues in Iran, "a country in which it is extremely difficult to produce a political play." English summary, 124.
