Who we are:

Brother Tongue produces new English Translations of contemporary and classic European plays.

Our goal is to create imaginative and thought-provoking theatre by opening up the process of translation to include all aspects of production. We believe that directors, actors, designers and producers all have a responsibility to ‘translate’.

By broadening the appeal of plays from the continent without compromising their cultural identity we aim to find new ways of directly engaging a diverse British audience with the richness of European drama.
