Theatre and Translation Summary

Theatre and Translation by Margherita Laera

This timely new title in the Theatre And series explores theatre and translation's interconnectedness in representing the stories of others. Laera argues that the two practices share fundamental ethical questions which lie at the core of our multicultural societies and can teach us to practice the skills we need to empathise with perspectives and world views distant from our own. Through a wide array of examples from different languages and cultures, Laera makes the case that we should all become more familiar with how translation works and aware of its importance in today's world.

Inspiring and wide-ranging, this book offers a concise but academically rigorous introduction to a complex topic. It is ideal for students of theatre, translation and adaptation.

Theatre and Translation Reviews

This book is highly readable while conveying a compelling sense of urgency. The discussion of theatre and translation concepts, and their inter-relationship, is very well balanced. * Geraldine Brodie, UCL, UK *
