The funny thing about adaptations is that the author, playwright, screenwriter, poet, etc has a lot of freedom with how they choose to change the story for their adaptation. While it can also act as a retelling, an adaptation is a little different. Retellings are done in the same format with changes to the story, for example, Rumpelstiltskin by The Brothers Grimm and Rump by Liesl Shurtliff. Adaptations are created through a different medium and can be the same story or can also be a retelling at the same time, for example, Rump by Liesl Shurtliff and Rump: The Musical by Timothy Threlfall. Here are a few retellings, adaptations, and appearances of Rumpelstiltskin over the years:
