    Chamber theatre is a theatrical adaptation technique that uses most of a literary work's original text with minimal settings. A narrator may be played by multiple actors and helps tell the story. Professor Robert Breen introduced chamber theatre at Northwestern University in 1947, and Frank Galati has since directed acclaimed chamber theatre productions of works by Steinbeck and Dickens using few props and set pieces carried on and off during performances.

    Chamber theatre

    'Chamber theatre is a method of adapting literary works to the stage using a maximal amount of the work's original text and often minimal and suggestive settings. In Chamber Theater, narration is included in the performed text and the narrator might be played by multiple actors . Professor Robert S. Breen (1909-1991) introduced "Chamber Theater" to his Oral Interpretation Classes at Northwestern University in 1947. Northwesterns Professor of Performance Studies Frank Galati, who studied Chamber Theater with Dr. Breen, has directed highly acclaimed Chamber Theater Productions for the Goodman Theater and Steppenwolf Theater Companies in Chicago. Galatis Chamber Theater adaptation of John Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath won two Tony Awards on Broadway. One of the most famous

    and elaborate examples of chamber theatre is David Edgar's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas

    Nickleby, in which Charles Dickens's characters


    narrate themselves in third person. Set pieces are carried in and taken away during the performance, rather than between scenes, and objects may be represented in a mimetic manner. Another example is Matthew Spangler's stage adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner.
    One example is "Variations On A Well Known Sea Chantey" composed by Robert Stephan. This piece was composed to be peformed by an orchestra or a Chamber Ensemble.
