Headlessgod.com · A Tribute to Yukio Mishima

May 11 through June 2, 2012 (Thurs-Sun) The Imago Theater in Portland is currently performing the play in English for the first time ever, thanks to a new translation by Laurence Kominz and Mark Oshima. I’m not much of a theater-goer, but I’m obviously a huge fan of Mishima’s work, so I didn’t want to pass up this rare opportunity to see one of his plays staged for a live audience. Most movies put me to sleep, so I was a little worried about the two-and-a-half hour run time, but it was so well directed and performed that I was completely engaged the whole time. The translators made some smart choices and the dialog felt natural, even though the play is highly stylized and peppered with psycho asides and dreamy philosophical musings.

It's a shirt and a plain stocking were got off a drowned man in Donegal. [CATHLEEN stops her wheel with a sudden movement, and leans out to listen.] NORA: We're to find out if it's Michael's they are; some time herself will be down looking by the sea. CATHLEEN: How would they be Michael's, Nora? NORA: The young priest says he's known the like of it.

[The door which NORA half closed is blown open by a gust of wind.] CATHLEEN: (looking out anxiously) Did you ask him would he stop Bartley going this day with the horses to the Galway fair? NORA: "I won't stop him," says he, "but let you not be afraid. CATHLEEN: Is the sea bad by the white rocks, Nora? NORA: Middling bad, God help us. MAURYA: Where is he itself?
