TRANSLATIONS by Brian Friel

Ireland, 1833. A small community will find itself confronted with the first British mapping of the country and the anglicisation of Irish place names; radical changes which mark the gradual loss of the cultural identity of a whole nation.

Written in 1980, Brian Friel’s iconic play illuminates the unique importance of language as a vehicle of historical memory and culture, highlighting the eternal themes of power, imposition and cultural survival.

An emblematic work full of realism and emotion as well, which remains as relevant as ever!
