  • Brian Friel's Translations in Irish-Language Performance
    Translating In? Translating In? Brian Friel’s Translations in Irish-language Performance Nóra de Buiteléir (National University of Ireland, Galway) “The sad irony, of course, is that the whole play is written in English. It ought to be written in Irish …” (Friel, “In Interview” 80) Should a text that is itself a translation – albeit a fictional one – be easier to translate? What happens when a play that supposedly stages the death of a language is re- enacted in that very language? Set in the Donegal Gaeltacht on the eve of the Famine and premiered in Derry in 1981, Brian Friel’s Translations has come to establish itself as a classic of modern Irish theatre. The reasons for its commercial and critical success are relatively clear: to any audience experiencing it for the first time, Translations seems, superficially at least, a remarkably simple piece of theatre. It establishes for itself an easily recognisable historical and geographical setting. It seamlessly combines the comic with the philosophical. It draws on the established model of Romeo and Juliet in setting up two lovers in the face of cultural conflict. Its dialogue is easily flowing and (apparently) naturalistic, packing a strong plot into the reassuringly familiar form of the Three-Act play. It is reasonable to assume that Translations owes much of its popular success to the fact that is easily accessible – traditional , almost. Underneath the naturalistic speech at the surface, however, is a language riddled with contradictions and ironies, a meeting place of Irish, English, Greek and Latin where translation is imperative and irresistible yet vulnerable and relentlessly destabilized.

  • Brian Friel and the Politics of the Anglo-Irish Language
    Colby Quarterly Volume 26 Issue 4 December Article 7 December 1990 Brian Friel and the Politics of the Anglo-Irish Language F. C.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. McGrath: Brian Friel and the Politics of the Anglo-Irish Language Brian Friel and the Politics of the Anglo-Irish Language byF. C. McGRATH ANGUAGE has always been used as a political and social weapon. It has been L used to oppress a colonized or conquered people, and it has been used to police the borders ofsocial class. In Ireland it has been used in both these ways. After the British had consolidated their colonization of Ireland, Gaelic was outlawed, and its use stigmatized a class of people who were conquered, oppressed, and impoverished. B~fore independence in 1922 Irish-accented Eng­ lish' including degrees ofIrish accent, established social hierarchies-thecloser to British English, the higher the class. George Steiner's observation about upperclass British accents applied with particular force in Ireland: "Upper-class English diction, with its sharpened vowels, elisions, and modish slurs, is both a code for mutual recognition-accent is worn like a coat of arms-and an instrument of ironic exclusion" (32). Since the late nineteenth century, however, knowledge ofthe old Gaelic has been turned into an offensive political weapon and a badge of Irish nationalist affiliation; and today the status of the Anglo-Irish language, that is, English as spoken by the Irish, has become a major concern for Brian Friel and other Irish writers associated with his Field Day Theatre Group.
