Narrative structure and dramaturgical analysis of single person literature adaptation theatre plays

The narrative tradition, which has historically been used to cover many branches of art, has experienced significant breaks in the process of transferring the word to the text and from there to the stage. In this period when the power of literature is theoretically effective, the transition from dialogic discourse to monological discourse with the duality of reader- author/ audience- actor is one of the important changes in the narrative structure. In our study, the language of the dramatised texts was examined, the formation of the dialogic structure was revealed with the dramaturgy study, and the effects of both art branches on each other were determined by using the specific terms of literature and theatre. The theatre equivalent of the concept of dramatisation, which is used in many fields such as education, psychology, journalism and advertising, is the original text created from a different artistic product for the theatre play to be performed on stage. Although the concept of dramatisation is included in both literature and theatre literature, the alienation seen in the eyes of the reader/ audience as a result of the distancing of the two fields from each other in practice is also one of the issues emphasized. The changes in the structure of fictional texts transformed from a literary text into a single person play through dramatic language have been revealed through dramatisations; one-man literary adaptation theatre plays performed after 2000 have been examined to support our views, and various conclusions and suggestions have been reached in this direction.
