An Béal Bocht by Myles na gCopaleen 'Mar ná beidh ár
leithéidí arís ann' Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe opens with An Béal Bocht by
Myles na gCopaleen in Galway on Wednesday 21st April and in Dublin on Tuesday
11th May in the Axis Arts Centre, Ballymun, Dublin. The work, which
traditionally has featured a large cast, will be produced as a two-hander
challenging the director, Darach Mac Con Iomaire to illustrate the rich mélange
that is An Béal Bocht with a cast of two; Marc Mac Lochlainn and Darach Ó Dubháin.
This production represents a new interpretation of Brian O'Nolan's incisive
satire of an idiosyncratic chapter of Irish revivalism. Taibhdhearc na
Gaillimhe, Ireland's National Irish Language theatre has the unique perspective
of being both a part of and apart from this period of Gaelic revivalism popular
in the early 20th century and as illustrated by O'Nolan under yet another of his
monikers, Myles na gCopaleen. In An Béal Bocht, O'Nolan has woven a cogent and
often rollicking yarn with each caricature more exaggerated that the last as he
effectively lampoons Irish literature's autobiographical genre as represented in
the educational system. This work comprehensively lambastes the grandilioquent
style of the revivalists and the systematic imposition of an alien conception of
gaelic identity on the indigenous culture under the dubious mantle of Irishness
- and it manages to do this while being really, really, side-splittingly funny.

The site is wonderful and I am eagerly awaiting the page
to Literary Links. After twenty years of marriage and rearing five sons I am
embarking on my writing career! They say all the mad people come from the West
of Ireland! And its a lonely place to be on a cold Spring day, with noone to
tell my dream of book writing to. Anyway, keep up the good work. Regards, Brid
