Continuing his very popular interview series, Edelstein sits down with translator/director Nelson—a great American playwright, at once a poet of the stage and an innovator of theatrical form—and Pevear and Volokhonsky—the world’s foremost translators of Russian literature, and perhaps our most influential thinkers about the art of translation. They will discuss the collaborative process behind this Uncle Vanya, as well as the art of translation and bringing the classics of the stage to life for a contemporary audience.

Barry Edelstein In Conversation with Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky, supported by the Fuson Family, will take place in Hattox Hall, part of the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center in the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. This special presentation is free to the public, though reservations are recommended to guarantee a seat. Reservations can be made by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.
