Annotation:
	Applies theory of "Adaptive Stage Matrix" to Turkish adaptations of Shakespeare. Explores how Emrah Eren's Bir Baba Hamlet (q.v.) draws on "the three major Turkish theatrical traditions of meddah, ortaoyunu, and Karagöz" to present a satirical and comedic adaptation of Hamlet. Shows how Murat Karahüseyinoğlu's Venedikli Tacir (q.v.), a Karagöz Merchant of Venice adaptation, draws on "traditional Ottoman" elements to reinterpret Shakespeare's play. English summary, online.
