Scandal Theatre is proud to be working alongside the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) to bring our asbestos-themed production, The Translator’s Dilemma to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August.
“Ottavia, a lecturer in translation studies, is covering a class for a friend. When she opens the notes, however, she realises the content is closer to home than she could imagine. Can she give a lecture on asbestos without revealing her own deadly secrets?”
The Translator’s Dilemma, written by Jessica Phillippi, has been designed to raise awareness of the dangers asbestos still poses in our modern society. Inspired by real life events in which thousands have died of asbestos-caused diseases, this fictional play explores the fallout of a killer mineral, and its effect on a young woman’s life.
ADAO and Scandal Theatre joined forces via the form of social media networking and will be collaborating to bring this new work to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. As this transatlantic partnership continues to move forward, ADAO has played a huge role in raising awareness of the production within their tightly-knit network of asbestos victims’ community.
The support that Scandal Theatre has received thus far has been overwhelming and is expected to grow throughout the run of The Translator’s Dilemma.
Please join us at Princes Mall in Edinburgh, for a free performance performed in English and Italian – August 6-15 and 19-27. Further information can be found at http://www.scandaltheatre.com
