WMNS/ENGL 401K/801K: LGBTQ Drama and Pop Culture
Timothy Schaffert

In our study of the intersection between theater and popular culture, we’ll focus especially on adaptations: stage productions adapted to film, novels adapted to stage productions, independent theater adapted into Broadway spectacles, etc. Among our discussions: We’ll follow the path of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” from a novel by Argentine author Manuel Puig, to an Oscar-nominated film, to a Tony-winning musical; we’ll look at Sarah Schulman’s “Stagestruck: Theater, AIDS, and the Marketing of Gay America,” in which she makes the case that the musical “Rent” lifted material from her novel “People in Trouble”; we’ll explore the dynamics of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” with our guest, novelist and producer Eric Schnall, who won a Tony for taking the small off-Broadway production to Broadway (and we’ll look at Schnall’s own novel, “I Make Envy on Your Disco”).
