Around the Table - Theatre Translator Mentorship 2025
Around the Table with Foreign Affairs
A podcast from Foreign Affairs theatre company, Around the Table brings theatre translators and makers together for open, informal conversations about their craft, creative journeys, and the stories that shape their work.
Recorded in our creative home in Hackney, each episode offers a relaxed, behind-the-scenes look at the people, processes, and perspectives shaping theatre today – in the UK and beyond.
In this roundtable, we’ve gathered the mentors from the sixth edition of our Theatre Translator Mentorship - Almiro Andrade, Charis Ainslie, Paul Russell Garrett and William Gregory - with Jozefina Komporaly guiding the conversation.
