Who we are:

Brother Tongue produces 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.

Praise for Brother Tongue’s 2009 production of About Tommy at Southwark Playhouse:

 

 “Elly Green’s visually eloquent production” ***Time Out

 

“pathos-tinged humour” - The Stage

 

“Hits home … is in its evocation of the nightmarish absurdity of its situation … Leading a committed cast, Gwilym Lee persuasively conveys Tommy's intensifying torment.”  *** The Times
