Plays are a site for self-study, gaining information and deepening our knowledge of ourselves and the others who inhabit our world. They open up windows to societies and cultures, helping us to make sense of complex realities. Their coming into being is always tied to a particular socio-cultural context. Their translations have the same tie. Once a play is translated/performed, new interpretations become inevitable.
