The Significance of Kuo Pao Kun’s Plays in Translation

In his early years, the late playwright Kuo Pao Kun devoted himself to introducing world theatre classics to Singapore by personally translating them into Chinese. These works were milestones in the history of local theatre, and a testament to the contribution of Chinese language theatre to multi-cultural Singapore. Through his translation work, Kuo transcended the art of theatre and demonstrated as a public intellectual his dedication to cross-cultural understanding.
