Translations

In a rural hedge school in early 19^th century Ireland, against the backdrop of a particularly insidious chapter in Britain’s ongoing colonization of that beleaguered country, Brian Friel’s Translations tells a tender, sad and funny tale of the clash of cultures and the inevitable advent of change. As two languages, English and Gaelic, battle it out for dominance in the land, we see each of the play’s charming characters struggle with their life and times.
