Abstract

The paper analyses Czech and English translations of the play The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. The chief aim of the paper is to explore translation strategies typical for Czech and English contexts with respect to the period of origin of the translations. The article presents individual solutions as well as general tendencies which are critically evaluated with regard to specific requirements in the receiving cultures. The paper outlines the differences in drama translation between Czech and English cultures. The role of initiator and the importance of the economic aspect in English drama translation are pointed out. The paper also concentrates on the phenomenon of adaptation in English contemporary theatre practice and also considers the lack of this approach in Czech translations of Chekhov.
