It's 5 years since the first UCL Theatre Translation Forum series. To celebrate the anniversary, and the book that emerged from the forum, Adapting Translation for the Stage (Routledge 2017), participants from the Theatre Translation Forum will discuss their recent work around translations and what lies in the future for translation, in their own field and in wider theatrical contexts. Following this, Director Jude Christian will lead a workshop exploring performing translation with two actors in a scene from Jeremy Tiang's translation of Wei Yu-Chia's A FABLE FOR NOW, winner of the 2014 Taiwanese Literature Award for playwriting.
Tickets are free but places are limited. This event is supported by UCL and the Gate Theatre Notting Hill.
