Live Shows

Your favourite movies translated badly

Lost in Translation takes different classic film scripts, runs them through an online translator a dozen times, and then read the results live on stage in character!

The final twist is that the guest stars read the scripts on stage for the first time.

To get the most enjoyment, we recommend you watch the film beforehand.
