Customer Reviews

Roughly translates as 'a great study aid'
Yet another great entry in the dependable York Notes series of A-level Literature study guides. If you're going to be examined on this text then make sure you have a copy of these notes to hand; priceless.

Thought provoking
Again, another AS level student here studying this play for the 11th of January exam. Translations is an extremely thought-provoking play, its subtle nuances in the story tackle issues that is universal. It really makes you self-reflect on your life and your stance in the world.

One problem is the fact that it would be great if there was a recording of the play jsut so it's easier to see the subtleties acted out on stage.
