Translating Hungarian Drama for the British and the American Stage
Reflecting on my experience of translating contemporary Hungarian theater into English, this paper examines the fluidity of dramatic texts in their original and in translation, and charts collaborations between playwrights, translators and theater-makers. Mindful of the responsibility when working from a “minor” to a “major” language, the paper signals the discrepancy between the indigenous and foreign ‘recognition circuit’ and observes that tran…

Wertenbaker’s 1995 play displays strong intertextual links with Chekhov’s Three Sisters; however, while Chekhov anticipated women’s paid work to constitute a solution for a multitude of societal problems, Wertenbaker focused on the long-term consequences of women’s employment, inc…
