This proposed research explores the adaptation and reconceptualisation of Shakespeare in contemporary Iranian theatre between 2000 and 2020. Overall, Iranian Shakespearean reworkings pursue three main approaches: (1) the plays that challenge important political issues such as the establishment of dictatorship in modern history of Iran, the Hamlet and Macbeth adaptations in particular; (2) the plays that engage in reflecting on Iran's sociocultural problems such as gender inequality and theatre censorship; and (3) the reworkings that spark philosophical-aesthetic discussions aiming at practicing an experimental stage against perception and meaning in the mainstream theatre. By using cultural materialist dissident reading and adaptation studies, as well as sociopolitical criticism, this proposed research analyzes adaptation politics, the scope of dissidence, and the way Iranian adapters have utilised Shakespeare in productive and engaging ways to reflect on sociocultural, political and philosophical issues in present-day Iran. Contemporary Iranian historical events such as civil uprisings since 2000s are deciding factors in the emergence of social, political and alternative interpretations and adaptations of Shakespeare in playwriting practice and theatre production in Iran.

这项拟议的研究探讨了2000年至2020年期间莎士比亚在当代伊朗戏剧中的改编和重新概念化。总体而言，伊朗戏剧的改编主要有三种途径：（1）挑战伊朗现代史上重要的政治问题，如建立独裁政权，尤其是对哈姆雷特和麦克白的改编;（2）反思伊朗社会文化问题，如性别不平等和戏剧审查制度;（3）引发哲学美学讨论的重新工作，旨在实践一个反对主流戏剧中的感知和意义的实验阶段。通过使用文化唯物主义的持不同政见者阅读和适应研究，以及社会政治批评，本研究建议分析适应政治，持不同政见者的范围，以及伊朗的适配器利用莎士比亚的生产和从事的方式来反映当今伊朗的社会文化，政治和哲学问题。当代伊朗的历史事件，如自2000年代以来的民间起义，是社会，政治和其他解释和改编莎士比亚在伊朗的剧本创作实践和戏剧生产中出现的决定性因素。
