Subject:	CFP: The Banquet and Maqbool

The Banquet and Maqbool: A Review Cluster, edited by Alexander Huang for 
Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation 
(http://www.borrowers.uga.edu)

Reviews of The Banquet (Ye Yan), a 2006 Chinese film adaptation of 
Hamlet, and/or Maqbool (Macbeth, 2004), are invited.

The films will be screened at the 2008 annual meeting of the Shakespeare 
Association  of America in Dallas. Both films, with English subtitles, 
have been released on DVD in the U.S.

The review cluster is an innovative, multimedia forum for performance 
reviews. The journal encourages contributors to use the online format to 
its best advantage, in particular, by imagining how to enhance or 
illustrate their essays with multimedia (screen captures, video clips, 
etc.). The cluster editor and the journal's technical support team will 
be happy to prepare clips from the two films to accompany the reviews.

To learn more about the review cluster, please refer to "Quinnopolis vs. 
Hamlet: A Review Cluster" in Borrowers and  Lenders 2.1 (Spring/ Summer 
2006): http:// lachesis.english.uga.edu/cocoon/borrowers/21_index

Please send a brief email of interest or questions to Alex Huang
