Abstract
Translating contemporary drama is a difficult task since the translators have to be knowledgeable in the field of both translation and drama theory, familiarise themselves with the context of the playwright’s time, and, of course, with his/her background, opus and style. The present study analyses Sarah Kane’s plays and their translation into the German language. For the purpose of this research, a corpus was compiled and the play Cleansed was translated in order to be able to draw a comparison between strategies used in the German and the Croatian translation of the aforementioned play. The analysed categories in all of the plays were drug abuse, profanities and vulgarities, sex and sexuality, as well as slurs and insults. The aim of this study was to observe the prevalence of the individual categories in Complete Plays, to show which strategies are most commonly used in German and which ones in Croatian, and, finally, to show the differences between the Croatian and the German translation of Cleansed in terms of the strategies used in translating.
