About This Book

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.

represented 

the

height 

of

the

plot 

in

Boucicault’s 

melo-

drama 

and

was

meant 

to

shock 

and

thrill 

the

audience, 

because 

it

would 

have 

meant 

that 

M’Closky’s 

claim 

on

the

property 

and

its

slaves 

would 

have 

been 

revoked. 

Jacobs-

Jenkins’ 

characters 

BJJ

and

Playwright 

discuss 

the

conun-

drum 

of

conjuring 

an

‘equivalent 

eﬀect’ 

on

contemporary 

audiences 

as

follows:

PLAYWRIGHT. 

But

part 

of

the

thrill, 

part 

of

the

Sensation 

of

the

scene, 

was

giving 

people 

back 

then 

a

sense 

of

having 

really 

witnessed 

some-

thing 

new

and

novel.

BJJ. 

And

that’s 

basically 

impossible 

for

us

to

do

now. 

If

anything, 

the

theater 

is

no

lon-

ger

a

place 

of

novelty. 

The

fact 

is

we

can

more 

or

less 

experience 

anything 

nowa-

days. 

So

I

think 

the

actual 

frontier, 

awk-

wardly 

enough, 

is

probably 

just 

an

actual 

experience 

of

ﬁnality, 

I

think.

PLAYWRIGHT. 

Like – 

death, 

basically?

BJJ. 

So

for

a

while 

I

was

thinking 

maybe 

I

could 

actually 

just 

set

this 

place 

on

ﬁre 

with 

you

inside – 

[…] 

But

that 

would 

be

crazy 

[…] 

Anyway, 

I

thought 

I’d 

try

something. 

I

hope 

it

isn’t 

too

disappointing.
