Literature about drama Translation puts forward the possibility of making two types of Translation: translating for the page or translating for the stage. Regardless of its final purpose, it is clear that translating a play gives rise to some difficulties, since it has some specific features as the duality of the dramatic text, which is made up of both the verbal elements and the non-verbal ones. In Robert Bolt‘s work, there is a thorough research in order to create the play and also his particular use of symbolic language, used to represent the suprahuman context surrounding the events and to refer to these historical events. Consequently, the implications for the translation are twofold: there is some imbalance between the universe of discourse of the source culture‘s reader and that of the target culture‘s reader and, it is on this knowledge on which Bolt builds his symbolic language.
