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

translation
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been
revoked.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.
