About the Play

Set in rural Ireland in 1833, Translations is an exploration of love, language, identity, and cultural conflict. Irish-speaking villagers gather at the local hedge school where their longtime and longwinded schoolmaster instructs them in Latin and Ancient Greek. They find their lives uprooted by British soldiers on an assignment to map the country, draw new borders, and “standardize” local place names into the King’s English. Political, cultural, and personal tensions rise when a villager and soldier fall in love amidst it all.
