The Oxford dictionary of literary terms, 2008 (dramatization: The process of adaptation whereby a stage play or film drama is created from major elements (plot, characters, settings) derived from a non-dramatic literary or historical work, usually a novel, romance, short story, or biography; or the new dramatic work thereby created.) Cuddon, J.A. A dictionary of literary terms and literary theory, 1998 (dramatization: The act of making a play out of a story in another genre; from a chronicle, novel, short story and so forth. In medieval drama the Bible was dramatized into the Mystery Plays. In the Tudor period dramatists 'lifted' plots, stories, and ideas from historians like Plutarch and Holinshed, and novelists like Lodge and Nashe. But it was not until the 18th c. that dramatization really began to flourish. Then novels provided the material. ... it is a practice by no means extinct, as television and recent theatrical history amply demonstrate.) Merriam-Webster dictionary online, Jan. 9, 2016 (dramatization 1 : the action of dramatizing. 2 : a dramatized version (as of a novel); dramatize 1 : to adapt (as a novel) for theatrical presentation) Oxford dictionaries online, Jan. 9, 2016 (dramatization 1. A play or movie adapted from a novel or depicting a particular incident. 1.1. The process of adapting a novel or presenting a particular incident in a play or movie) Film reference website, Jan. 9, 2016 (under Adaptation: Theatrical Adaptations: Film historians have noted the close links between theatrical melodrama of the late nineteenth century and the techniques and narrative structure of early film--in content and elaborate lighting and stage effects. The obvious similarities between a play and a film--in overall length, use of sets, the apparent realism of character and dialogue--have obscured the very real differences. Stage dialogue can sound artificial and tedious when transferred directly to the more naturalistic medium of film, and, as with fiction, a successful adaptation has to be thoroughly rethought in terms of the new, primarily visual, medium of cinema. While the faults of mechanically adapted "filmed theater" are usually obvious, there is equal danger in attempts to "open out" a play by transferring interior scenes into exotic outdoor locations and hoping that will somehow make the work more cinematic. Some sort of balance between stage and film effects is therefore essential.) <http://www.filmreference.com/encyclopedia/Academy-Awards-Crime-Films/Adaptation-THEATRICAL-ADAPTATIONS.html> Wikipedia, Jan. 9, 2016: Theatrical adaptation (In a theatrical adaptation, material from another artistic medium, such as a novel or a film is re-written according to the needs and requirements of the theatre and turned into a play or musical.)
