The Program in Theater presents Unbecoming, a new play by alumna Emma Watkins ’18, as a filmed theatrical production. Victorian housewife Lady Charlotte Guest aspires to become the first person to translate the Mabinogion — a collection of ancient Welsh stories — into English. Through her translation, she encounters Blodeuwedd, a woman conjured from flowers as a wife for her creator and punished for her infidelity. As Charlotte struggles to reconcile her creative ambitions with family expectations, she also confronts the power she holds in retelling Blodeuwedd’s story.

Live talkbacks on Zoom with the audience and creative team/scholars immediately follow two shows: join the conversations on 1/16 at 9:45 PM and 1/17 at 3:45 PM; registration required. Film is closed captioned; conversations offer live captions. FREE
