Abstract

This article examines the role of Shakespearean translation and theatrical performance in fostering cultural exchange between English and Uzbek cultures. Shakespeare’s drama, rooted in the historical, linguistic, and philosophical context of early modern England, undergoes significant transformation when introduced into the Uzbek cultural space. Through careful translation and stage adaptation, Shakespeare’s works are reinterpreted to align with local linguistic norms, aesthetic traditions, and cultural values. This study argues that translation and theatre act as complementary mechanisms of cultural mediation, facilitating intercultural dialogue while preserving the universal themes of Shakespearean drama. The analysis demonstrates that these processes do not merely transmit literary content but actively construct shared cultural understanding.
