NEWS FLASH

The Translation Database - bilingual (French/English) - is an extensive list of translations of contemporary French-language plays in all languages. Created by Entr'Actes and hosted on its web site, it was designed to help promote plays and support events abroad.

The Translation Database had inventoried more than 6,000 translations of plays by over 1,100 playwrights in 46 different languages in 2012. Searches can be done on the database by playwright, translator, language or country. Links for playwrights listed in the Playwright Database take you to their bios and plays listed (with a short summary, the number of characters, an excerpt of the play and information about its first production).

The Translation Database is an invaluable tool for professionals from around the world, developed through a process of identifying and cataloguing existing translations. It is updated on a regular basis with new information about current productions, contracts and performances abroad.

Translation Database Launch: 1pm, July 13, 2012 at the Conservatoire du Grand Avignon
