Join us on a whistle-stop tour of Hungary, Italy, Norway and Mexico to discover new worlds and enjoy theatre from afar.

We’re excited to present four brand new translations developed during the fifth edition of our Theatre Translator Mentorship programme.

Launched in 2016, the programme is designed to develop and promote theatre in translation by nurturing a new generation of professional theatre translators.

For two nights only, we’ll showcase plays by acclaimed playwrights from Hungary, Italy, Norway and Mexico, all translated into English for the first time.

Each night will include four play readings (20-minute extracts) performed by an international ensemble, followed by a post-show discussion with the translators and the creative team and mentors.
