Massimiliano Morini's book is an inspiring, provocative, and stirring intervention into the comfortable waters of theatre translation. I am very grateful for this book and am looking forward to the debate it will engender.

Theatrialia

Praise is, however, due to Morini for his unwavering clarity and nearly-as-unwavering accessibility of language to those not immersed within the field of translation studies or those hoping to dip into the discipline from the outside. … Ultimately, I commend Morini's view of and hopes for the future of theatre translation and the theoretical structures that, at different turns, support, constrain, and propel it forward.

The Mercurian

This useful book explores the current state of the art of theatre translation. Morini introduces the history of translating for the theatre both in theory and practice and offers a working definition and a methodology for studying theatre translation that will be helpful to students both of translation and theatre.

Massimiliano Morini's study is the first book-length account of the history, theory and methodology of theatre translation. It is a highly informative and reliable guide to the evolution of theatrical translation studies from text-centred to performance-based approaches. The result is both a lucid text and a persuasive rhetorical performance.
