      ab: This article focuses on the quality of translations in the theater. There are only two epithets that are used to measure the quality of translations in the theater: faithful and good. The former is used to assess how accurately the translator has followed the original writer's blueprint-in conveying the sense or spirit of the translated work. Good, in turn, is generally used as a catch-all term to measure how much that fidelity costs in dramatic terms; the flow of language in its sonorous qualities, a sense of voice and of tension: in short, the translation's inherent worth as a piece of writing in the theater.
