Description
Summary Both Reza de Wet and Janet Suzman recently produced plays that were inspired by two famous plays by Chekhov. Reza de Wet's Drie susters twee (1996) (Three Sisters Two) is a "continuation"/sequal to Chekhov's Three Sister & while Janet Suzman's The Free State (2000) is as indicated in her subtitle, "A South African Response to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard" (2000). Since these two plays have been discussed extensively from both postmodern and postcolonial perspectives, I have decided to focus in this article rather on the notion of "translation" as propounded in a recent publication by Aaltonen. The concept of "intercultural theatre" also forms an important part of this discussion.
