Flash back to 2023
The World Health Organisation ended the global health emergency for COVID-19, King Charles III was coronated, Barbenheimer happened, and Lost in Translation toured to Melbourne Fringe for the first time.
And then we didn’t come back… UNTIL NOW!
Lost in Translation returns to Melbourne Fringe for 2026! In case you’ve forgotten what Lost in Translation is since you so kindly saw us back then (hence receiving this email):
Each night, we take a different classic film script, run it 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.
