The feature “Black Swan in the Flesh” from our May-June 2026 issue describes the creative choices behind a new A.R.T. production that transforms the iconic 2010 film into a stage musical. Inspired by the adaptation, we’re asking readers to tell us their favorite adaptation of a story from one art form to another (book to movie, movie to stage show, video game to TV show, etc.)—and why they love it. Read the story in Harvard Magazine and join the conversation by filling out the questionnaire below. Responses may be published online and in print.
