This dissertation is a study of theatre translation from German into English, in which I specifically examine issues related to performance. I argue that translation for the stage requires a different set of interpretants than translation for the page, because performance has unique needs that may not be met in an otherwise brilliant literary translation, such as on-stage timing of lines and events, audience understanding without footnotes, and linguistic stumbling blocks.In the first chapter, I provide an overview of translation theory, theatre semiotics, and the history of theatre translation theory and practice. This provides the theoretical framework for my analysis in later chapters and suggests potential differences between theatrical and literary texts and their translation needs.In the second chapter, I examine six translations of Heinrich von Kleist's Der zerbrochne Krug, by John T. Krumpelmann, Bayard Quincy Morgan, Jon Swan, Martin Greenberg, Noel Clark, and Carl B. Mueller. I analyze the translations specifically in regard to rhythm, including meter, alliteration, tempo, rhyme, wordplay, and linguistically indicated characterization and power dynamics.Chapter Three deals with Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen, a culturally embedded play set in turn-of-the-century Vienna. Translations by F. L. Glaser and L. D. Edwards, Marya Mannes, Carl R. Mueller, Frank and Jacqueline Marcus, Eric Bentley, John Barton, William L. Cunningham and David Palmer, and Nicholas Rudall are included in this chapter. I discuss how the translators approach culturally specific references, dialect, and aspects of linguistic register that have no equivalent.Finally, in Chapter Four, I examine translations of Bertolt Brecht's Der gute Mensch von Sezuan completed by Eric Bentley, John Willett, Michael Hofmann, Tony Kushner, Douglas Langworthy, and David Harrower. Because Brecht's politics and theatrical theory played a central role in his playwrighting, this chapter is focused on the translation of messaging, in both meaning and form. I analyze how the translators approach politics, morality, collectivist language, and aspects of the Epic Theatre.
