Our own Dr Szilvi Naray performed at Manchester Central Library last month as part of its Big Language Celebration Day. Szivli, a Lecturer in Drama and Translation Studies, spoke to an audience about the Hungarian language and how she has adapted plays into English before performing extracts from the play ‘The Dead Man’, which she translated from the critically acclaimed author Janos Hay. Szilvi’s collection of translated Hungarian plays, “Difficult Women”, was published by Bloomsbury in 2024.
