Bellingham TheaterWorks Summer Repertory Theatre - Translations

Description

The FireHouse Arts & Events Center is excited to host this year’s Bellingham TheatreWorks Fairhaven Summer Repertory Theatre (FSRT) lineup featuring three award-winning and thought-provoking plays written by authors who explore how language can both set us apart and bring us together.

Translations - A British soldier falls in love with an Irish peasant girl, with a backdrop of the British Army’s campaign to change the names of native Gaelic locations. This lyric play explores language as the soul of a nation, during a time of complicated social upheaval.

Written by: Brian Friel (1980)
Directed by: Kayla Adams

The Foreigner - In a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, a tragically shy proofreader for a science fiction magazine tries to hide from life, only to put himself in the middle of a family squabble over money and power. This hilarious comedy earned multiple Obie and Outer Critics Circle awards as Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production.

Written by: Larry Shue (1984)
Directed by: Mark Kuntz

The Language Archive - George is consumed with preserving and documenting the dying languages of the world.  At home, however, despite all the languages he speaks, words fail him in his marriage with his wife.  This heartfelt bittersweet comedy won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for new plays.

Written by: Julia Cho (2012)
Directed by: Cara Phipps
