In 2014, Malawian writer, Stanley Kenani, translated Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet into Chichewa, for the purposes of performance, not theoretical discourse (however, theory was an essential part of the process). This chapter delves into the theoretical framework that informed the creative process and practice of the rehearsals and production choices. It offers an exploration and explanation of the intersection where theory and practice meet to provide insights into the craft of a partnership between an intercultural translator and director.
