This book explores the impact that high-profile and well-known
translators have on audience reception of translated theatre. Using
Relevance Theory as a framework, the book demonstrates how prior
knowledge of a celebrity translator's contextual background can
affect the spectator's cognitive state and influence their
interpretation of the play. Three canonical plays adapted for the
British stage are analysed: Mark Ravenhill's translation of Life of
Galileo by Bertolt Brecht, Roger McGough's translation of Tartuffe
by Moliere and Simon Stephens' translation of A Doll's House by
Henrik Ibsen. Drawing on interviews, audience feedback, reviews,
blogs and social media posts, Stock examines the extent to which
audiences infer the celebrity translator's own voice from their
translations. In doing so, he adds new perspectives to the
long-standing debate on the visibility of the translator in both
the process of translating and the reception of the translation.
Celebrity Translation in British Theatre offers an original
approach to theatre translation that sheds light on the culture of
celebrity and its capacity to attract new audiences to plays in
translation.
