UPSTAGE Productions presents 'TRANSLATIONS' by Brian Friel 12,13,&14 March 2020

1833. An Irish village sees a company of British soldiers arrive. Their mission is to rewrite the maps of the country and translate the names of the places into English. A highly colonialist and symbolic act. Two cultures, two languages ​​meet at the crossroads of the past and the future. The identity of an entire people is at stake.

Brian Friel wrote 'TRANSLATIONS' in 1980, in a country torn apart by tragic sectarian violence. This play, considered a major contemporary work, with a striking resonance today, crosses all borders and speaks to each of us.
