Abstract
(type = abstract)
This dissertation examines the structural transformation of theater through its adaptation for television in the works of Eduardo De Filippo and Dario Fo. By focusing on two political playwrights who write, direct, and star in their plays, I am able to explore how the social role of the comedian evolves through the adaptations necessitated by the medium. Both Eduardo and Fo worked closely with RAI, Italy's state-run television broadcaster since its inception in 1954 through the 1970s, the period covered in my study. The unique circumstances surrounding these professional relationships that I investigate include the political ramifications of government control over the creative process. Since its inception, television has transformed the cultural landscape and the way that people consume culture. Theater has consistently held a prominent position on the airwaves but while the medium multiplies the potential audience that a performance will reach, it also inherently transforms the nature of that performance. Finally, I analyze how alterations of the language are in themselves a political statement.
