Okay.

It's made some up.

Yes, I do.

But my master's is in intercultural communication.

I did.

My thesis was in multilingual theatre subtitling.

Yes, which isn't normally actually subtitling.

Normally it's surtitling or supertitling, as it's sometimes called, which means that just the writing goes above the action on stage normally.

Whereas subtitling, the word sub comes from the fact that the writing is normally below the action on the screen.

That it's really difficult to do it well.

So I did my master's in China.

I was at Shanghai Theatre Academy.

And they had some international theatre festivals and visiting performances and things like that.

And a lot of them were subtitled.

And also opera has been subtitled for a long time.

Um, but often the subtitles were just like really badly done.

Um, like the screens were put in the wrong place or sometimes they just put two screens either side of the stage.

And then one time I saw an actor knock one of the screens over.

That was a bad time.

Um, or there'd be like really out of sync or, you know, it's just really hard to do well.
