Set in the fictional town of Baile Beag , a village in 19th century Ireland, Translations, by Brian Friel, deals with a number of issues, using language and communication to explore the Irish character and cultural imperialism. The plot revolves around two soldiers from the British Ordinance Survey, who arrive in Baille Beag for the purpose of anglicizing the local Irish place names, one instance of imperial oppression. Culture erasure, in all its forms, is a weapon of racial discrimination that has been practiced throughout the ages by governments in power. Friel’s characters engage in the conflict to preserve local traditions against the assault.

Mother of the Maid
Written by
Jane Anderson
The story of Joan of Arc’s mother, a sensible, hard-working, God-fearing peasant woman whose faith is upended as she deals with the baffling journey of her odd and extraordinary daughter.
This riveting play is an epic tale told through an unexpected and remarkable perspective. It’s hard to be a mother in the 15th century.
