Like the characters who wear several layers of clothes even though it’s a hot summer in 1833 in Baile Beag, an Irish speaking community in Donegal about to have a new civilisation and language imposed on them by the English, director Ian Rickson’s production of Brian Friel’s Translations (1980) is shot through with multiple meanings, some of which seem untranslatable into words- apt as Friel’s part inspiration for the play was George Steiner’s After Babel, a reflection on the science...
