Translations

The ending of the play "Translations" kind of threw me off.  To me, it seemed to end very abruptly when Manus just left and Captain Lancey comes and tells the classroom that the town will basically be destroyed if Lieutenant Yolland is not found.  We are given hints as to where Manus has gone, to be with the Donnelly twins, and that the Donnelly twins might have something to do with the disappearance of Yolland.  The ending also sounded like the beginning of the Irish Revolution to me.  I do not know much about the Irish Revolution so I found a website that gave some information.  I hope this information helps anyone else who might have been somewhat confused like me!
