French Department

Welcome to the French Department

Summer 2025: May 31-July 5, 2025
Students will work collaboratively on translating French plays into English with Barnard French Professor Laurie Postlewate. The class will attend productions of the plays in Paris as a way of exploring the conditions, possibilities, and limits that performance presents to theatre translation.  And, finally, the resulting translations will be performed by the students in the partner course, Acting in Paris.
