Myles Breen: Unbecoming a Lady

Myles Breen wrote Language UnBecoming A Lady and, as Bobby, a gay man, he performs it solo, aided only by the songs of the divas Bobby adores. Language UnBecoming A Lady is both camp and very real and earthy. It’s a measure of the writing and Myles Breen’s performance – in particular, how he slips in and out of high camp and then into a more grounded, concrete self in order to distil the complexity of Bobby – that the play cuts the right balance between sentimentality and artistry. It not only tells the tale of a gay man’s progress into maturity but we also get a touching historical journey through the Ireland of the last 30 years and how our perspective and humanity has changed for the better." - Irish Theatre Magazine

A

Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
