We agree with Yonezo Hamamura, who severely criticized Kusuyama's adaptation, accurately pointing out that the feeling of gravity and intensity, which dominates Turgenev's original novel, was lost in the stage performance. In this paper we investigated the development of Kusuyama's plot and the songs introduced into the drama, in order to examine what kind of difference lies between Kusuyama's adaptation and Turgenev's original novel, and how and why these differences came about. As a result of the comparison with Turgenev's “On the Eve” and the Soviet version of its dramatization by Aleksei Arbuzov, it has become clear that Kusuyama's adaptation can be characterized by the following points. 1) Simplification of the setting 2) Diminishing expectations for the new hero, Insarov 3) Presentiment of tragedy weakened 4) Heroine Elena as one of the “new women” 5) Insertion of the songs, which are not sung in Turgenev's original novel}, pages = {15--39}, title = {小説と舞台のあいだ : 楠山正雄の『その前夜』脚本をめぐって}, volume = {8}, year = {2011} }
