A Room Of One’s Own: A Theatre Translator In Residence

The Theatre Times: Translation can sometimes be a lonely profession. It is ironic that, although we work with texts that come from all over the world, many of us do much of our work in our own homes, sometimes not even meeting the writers we work with or the people who commission us face-to-face. It can also be a precarious profession. Just like freelancers of all professions, our income fluctuates and we rely on generating a flow of work in order to make our choice of career feasible. One of the counterweights to these challenges over recent years has been the translation residency.
