Lost in Translation

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Your favourite movies translated badly. Each night, take a different classic film script that's been run through an online translator a dozen times, and then guest starts will read the results live on stage in character. The final twist is that the stars read the scripts on stage for the first time.

To get the most enjoyment, we recommend you watch the film beforehand.

See the website for the full program.
