Provided they do not occupy a seat. How do you rebuild a 400-year-old topical joke in a new culture and with none of the same words? How does Romeo and Juliet's first meeting unfold if they can't mention pilgrims? Why are Lady Macbeth's pronouns such a problem? Seasoned translator and Shakespeare fanatic Daniel Hahn has travelled the globe to uncover how Shakespeare has moved between languages, and the pleasures, challenges and oddities each new translation brings.
