The Tyrone Guthrie Society presents Brian Friel's masterpiece Translations at the Brian Friel Theatre as part of our annual Friel in February programme from Wednesday 3rd - Saturday 6th February 2010 at 7.30pm. The society is named in honour of Sir Tyrone Guthrie, one of the greatest theatre directors of the twentieth century and a former Chancellor of Queen’s University. At the ceremony in February 2009 to name the theatre after him, Brian Friel spoke of Guthrie’s influence on him, and so it is doubly appropriate for the TGS to be producing one if Friel’s finest plays in the theatre that bears his name. Translations is set in Donegal in the 1830s but the ideas that inform it are timeless. It speaks to us eloquently of the importance of language in helping us to understand who we are and of the importance of mutual understanding that can transcend language. The respected professional actor, Gordon Fulton, plays schoolmaster Hugh O’Donnell alongside a cast and crew entirely drawn from current students under the direction of David Grant.
