Michaelmas Week 3

From the pen of Brian Friel, Ireland's greatest living playwright, Translations is a powerful historical drama which captures the emotional and social conflicts arising in a small Irish town during the British colonial takeover. Comic confusion and tragic romance play a crucial role in this play about the power of communication: How does one express the emotions of love, jealousy, hatred and pain when stripped of understanding and common speech?
 
Watch as tensions rise and a fascinating melee of relationships develop in this poignant and moving exposure of the decline of the Irish culture and language. Are there certain barriers love cannot cross? Be prepared for an evening of entertainment, education, challenge, and passion - one you won't forget in a hurry.
