Answering the call as emerging scholars and artists, the students of Translation & Performance applied translation theory in practice and performance by translating international plays into English. This year’s class makes an original contribution to the field of translation studies and to theatre practice in the U.S. by introducing new audiences to plays from Uganda, ancient Rome, and China.
