Translations – Kings Theatre

Tuesday 16th April and Wednesday 17th April at 7.30pm – Kings Theatre, 2 Leven Street, Edinburgh EH3 9HQ



About the show:

Set in a hedge school in Ballybeg, in Ireland in 1833, Translations sets the scene for the appearance of members of the British Army who have been tasked to translate place names in the area from ancient Irish Gaelic to the King's English. This clash of cultures results in a series of misunderstandings and misinterpretations that indicate that without a shared method of communication, chaos will prevail and instability will rule the day.



Owen, brother to lame aspiring teacher Manus, returns home after six years away in Dublin. With him is Lieutenant Yolland, who is working on the Ordnance Survey map of Ireland. Owen acts as a translator and go-between for the British and Irish. A love triangle between Yolland, Manus, and a local woman, Máire, complicates matters and this poignant story is played out onstage, under the much lauded direction of acclaimed actor and director, Adrian Dunbar.



Translations was first performed at the Guildhall in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1980. It was the first production by the Field Day Theatre Company founded by Tony Award Winner Friel and Stephen Rea. Don't miss your chance to see this creative production of this renowned play from one of the greatest living English-language dramatists.

CIDER WITH ROSIE
Adapted from the novel by Laurie Lee

Gloucestershire’s theatre company presents the classic novel of Cotswold life, starring Susie Blake (Mrs Brown’s Boys, Coronation Street, Wild at Heart).

Following the success of The Glass Menagerie, the Everyman Theatre is mounting a new stage version of Laurie Lee’s evocative novel of growing up and life in rural Gloucestershire between the wars. Laurie Lee’s gentle and beautifully touching story recounts the defining moments of his adolescent life, recalling glorious outings, frozen white winters, long hot, hazy summers, tyrannical teachers, erratic family life and of course that first cider-fuelled encounter.

With Laurie Lee’s memories of an idyllic but eventful childhood and a liberal dash of traditional music, we will transport you to Cotswold village life in a not so distant past.
