1. Swedish to English to Japanese
So, I was in my Theater 100 class today, and we were tasked with performing a selection from Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.

Not too big a deal. Get to see some mediocre performances of a famous work, with folks flubbing lines and pronouncing names all wrong. Then something marvelous happened.
A group consisting entirely of Japanese exchange students took the stage. That's right, I got to witness a play, originally in Swedish, translated into English, and performed by people who couldn't really speak either. It was a thing of great beauty.
