A quick round-up of what’s ahead for 2020…

February 12 will see the announcement of the Premio Valle-Inclán Award for literary translation from Spanish.  I am honoured to be among the five finalists for this prize, for the Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Spanish Plays. Tickets for the ceremony at the British Library are available here.

In connection with the prize I will be appearing at the Society of Authors on January 28 as part of the panel discussion event, Breaking Boundaries: Journeys in Literary Translation alongside Morgan Giles and Adriana Hunter.

For Global Voices Theatre I am translating the English-language premiere of La Jana by the Chilean playwright Juan Pablo Aguilera Justiniano, as part of the John Thaw Initiative Latin American season, curated at the Actor’s Centre, on March 27 and 28.

Also from Chile, for the Royal Court I am translating the world premiere of Pablo Manzi’s A Fight Against… which runs at the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from 20 May to 20 June.

And in July, I will be teaching the theatre strand at the British Centre for Literary Translation Summer School in Norwich.

Ticketing is live for all of the above events. Also a reminder that the Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Argentinian Plays has now been published, following its launch in December 2019.

So, a happy new year to all. Adelante!
