The Art of Translation for the Theatre
Prevailing wisdom claims there is no market for foreign-language theatre in Britain, but a glance at the Edinburgh Festival's programme tells a different story. Although the language may be unfamiliar, gesture and expression make it clear exactly what is being said and offer a challenge to the audience. Colin Bell talks to directors, translators and actors about their approach to and experiences of foreign-language theatre.
