On January 25, the highly anticipated revival of
Translations by Brian Friel—the Tony Award-winning playwright of
Dancing at Lughnasa—opened at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway. The epic tale of the collisions of Anglo-Irish cultures in the mid 19th Century,
Translations is being co-produced by the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, and the Manhattan Theatre Club (who originally debuted the play in 1981), and features an international cast under the guidance of Garry Hynes, a 1998 Tony winner for her direction of
Beauty Queen of Leenane. And while the weather outside was cold, cold, cold, inside the Biltmore as well as at the post-show party at the Hard Rock Cafe,
Translations received a very warm welcome from a long roster of attending Broadway notables and MTC veterans. Check it out.
