Playwriting
Theatre is a global art form, and the average person’s knowledge of world drama is made possible by the practice of translating seminal works into the English language. But what if a play has more than one translation? How do you choose which text is right for your project? And what do you do when you don’t speak the other language in question? This workshop will equip you with a set of best practices for selecting the most appropriate text for your needs. Speaking a language in addition to English is not required for this workshop.
