In our essay we antecede Brian Friels Translations starting from somewhat historical data and we function on to an analysis of the major motives presented in the play. Because interpreting holds a special place among them, we pay specific anxiety to the belief of translation, as Friel sees it: as metaphor of Irishness. Later on, we hold out our strategy in translating an extract of this work, explaining in as lots enlarge as possible why we adopt the fundamental rationale of Skopos theory. Firstly, we present the unusual nature of the play, which plays with Irish and face on stage. Secondly, we imbibe our purpose, which is to maintain the original setting, in the sensory faculty that we do not acculturate it. We feel that it is important to entertain English as the theme of the play, changing of course the medium, since we interpret it using the Italian and the Greek language. Finally, we incorporate our individual translations with some commentary. 1 Friel, B. 19 81. Translations (London: Faber&Faber).
