The Translator on Stage
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-2211-2 (ISBN)
Through a sample of eight plays that span two thousand years and six languages—including Festen, Don Carlos, Hedda Gabler and The UN Inspector—and that were all staged within a three-month period, Geraldine Brodie brings in a wide range of theatre practitioners to discuss their roles in the translation process and the motivations that govern London theatre translation activities. The Translator on Stage is informed by specially conducted interviews with the productions’ producers, artistic directors, directors, literary managers, playwrights and specialist translators, including Michael Grandage, Rufus Norris, David Eldridge, Juan Mayorga, David Johnston and Mike Poulton. It sheds new light not only on theatrical translation procedures, but also on the place of translation in society today.
Geraldine Brodie is Lecturer in Translation Theory and Theatre Translation in the Centre for Translation Studies at University College London, UK. She founded the UCL Theatre Translation Forum and Translation in History Lecture Series, is a panel Associate of Advancing Research in Translation and Interpreting Studies (ARTIS) and is co-editor, with Emma Cole, of Adapting Translation for the Stage (forthcoming 2017).
