Winifred Katzin (fl. 1930-). Translator.

Biography

She seems to have been a prolific translator and adaptor of plays. Among her translations over the years include The Failures by H.R. Lenormand (1923),

Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance

Perhaps her best known publication was Short Plays from Twelve Countries, a collection of English one act plays selected, some translated and adapted, and edited by Winifred Katzin (London: George G Harrap and Co., 1937).

In South Africa the Eastern European one-act plays The Jews of Hodos by Sandor Martinescu and Diamond Cuts Diamond by Nikolai Gogol - both translated by Katzin - were performed locally and published (re-published?) as performance texts by DALRO in 1969.
