"Medine" depicts honor killings in the Middle East. The protagonist, Medine, is buried alive by her father for eloping, and her soul becomes trapped in a loop. In the story, Medine experiences three repetitions of her tale, but she ultimately dies each time, conveying the lack of choice for women in Middle Eastern culture. This script is a purely dramatic adaptation into a musical, featuring a unique "loop structure" that differs from traditional musical scripts, posing challenges in adaptation.This paper will analyze, from a director's perspective, how to adapt the purely dramatic text into lyrics and incorporate music and dance to create a musical. The first chapter details the author's creative background and motivation for creating this work; the second chapter explores the original playwright, characters, and Islamic culture; the third chapter conducts an in-depth study and analysis of the plot; the fourth chapter presents the author's directorial interpretation and adaptation; and the fifth chapter concludes the adapted work.
