Join Foreign Affairs co-founder and artistic director, Trine Garrett, for an introductory workshop on theatre translation.

Gain insights into what translating for the stage entails, based on our experiences of bringing world drama from ‘page to stage’ for over a decade.

In the session, you’ll take part in a series of creative and collaborative exercises, explore cultural source and target context, and engage in discussions surrounding practicalities of producing theatre in translation in the UK.

The workshop is open to translators and theatre-makers who are curious about a career as a theatre translator.

This workshop will be delivered in a hybrid format (in person and online on Zoom) with Trine in the room and co-facilitators online to maximise the experience for everyone – and we can’t wait!

Spaces are limited, so book now!

Pay What You Can

We strive to make our work as accessible as possible and we continue to look for new ways to break down barriers. Since 2018 all in-house productions, events and training programmes have either been free or part of our Pay What You Can scheme.

How does it work?

For all paid activities, there are multiple options and you can choose to pay a price that works for you at the moment.

To help you decide, we highlight a recommended price. This recommended price reflects industry standards (and what we’d “normally” charge) and anything above that allows us to continue our PWYC scheme.

We’re aware that many people are experiencing big financial challenges right now, so we’ve added some ‘donation places’ that allow you to pay whatever you can afford.

Foreign Affairs is a small non-profit organisation and we receive no regular funding. We appreciate your honesty and generosity when choosing your PWYC option.
