Director's Notes and Vision
How important is language? The ability to communicate effectively with those you love, as well as to strangers? We probably take it for granted, but for some, the ability to speak the language we know and love is not always an option. Brian Friel’s drama Translations strikes the heart of this concern head on as he looks back on 1833 Ireland and the decisions they were asked, and forced, to make under British Imperial rule. His characters are as real as they are timeless, and their stories of struggling to survive in an oppressed state teach the true power, and price, of resistance.
