Mullins's translation parses Shakespeare's language carefully, with a focus on its sonic qualities. Her version focuses on the listener, developing the play for the immense pleasure of it--the fortuitous juxtapositions of the fates of these characters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eKing John\u003c\/i\u003e was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.","brand":"Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45036410142871,"sku":"9780866987950","price":590.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780866987950.webp?v=1769213266","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/king-john-9780866987950","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
