Translations
By Brian Friel
Directed by Fraser Stevens
Set in late August 1833, “Translations” unfolds at a hedge-school in Baile Beag, County Donegal. The play introduces a diverse group of students, from a semi-literate farmer to an elderly autodidact. Nearby, a detachment of Royal Engineers is tasked with mapping the area through the first Ordnance Survey. They must record local Gaelic place names and replace them with English equivalents. The action’s administrative nature transforms into a deeply personal issue. This collision of cultures brings forth far-reaching consequences that impact the community profoundly.
