The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
This version is performed by the Houston Ballet. I saw the Ballet Rambert perform it twice in 1982 and 1983 (The first time in an attempt to impress a girl, the second time because I loved it so much the first time. I didn't go back with the girl...)
Born Bonaparte O'Coonassa in Corkadoragha where the the torrential rains are more torrential, the squalor more squalid, the hopelessness more utterly hopeless than they are anywhere else. Actually I'm from Romford which is probably worse...
