Huge congratulations to Daiwa Scholarships alum Gareth Mattey who has been awarded a theatre translator mentorship by Foreign Affairs.

Gareth will be translating a Japanese play to be performed in London next year!

Throughout the programme, Gareth and cohort will receive mentoring and take part in workshops to nurture their knowledge and skills for theatre translation.

This programme is supported by Jerwood Foundation and in collaboration with Jermyn Street Theatre for the showcase event next year.

The mentorship was launched in 2016 in collaboration with acclaimed translators Paul Russell Garrett, Roland Glasser and William Gregory, and continues to be supported by past participants, including Deema Al-Mohammad (2020/21), Charis Ainslee (2018/19) and Jozefina Komporaly (2016/17).
