Vermont Stage Presents 'Translations'

Vermont Stage Presents 'Translations' Translations by Brian Friel directed by Cristina Alicea ​ Sept 25-Oct 13, 2024 at Main Street Landing Wednesdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm First Saturday & Sunday Matinees at 2pm Tickets start at $34! In 1833, a schoolmaster gives his Irish-speaking students a classical education, versing them in Ancient Greek and Latin—but not in English. Meanwhile, the British Army arrives to create a new map of Ireland that will “standardize” the Gaelic place-names to English. When the schoolmaster’s son returns home from Dublin to serve as the Army’s translator, the fate of the Irish locals and their native tongue is cast into uncertainty. The play is a captivating exploration of the power of language to kindle romance, ignite tensions and inflame the human heart’s yearning to understand. Translations is appropriate for ages 13 & up. Running Time: 120 minutes with one intermission.​ https://www.vermontstage.org/translat...
