Show and Tell Post - My Left Breast

My Left Breast was written by Susan Miller in 1970. It was produced a few times (in 1995 and 1996)by Watermark Theatre in New York City by unknown venues. It can be found here:

This is a one-act, one woman play is done by Susan, herself. She starts off by briefly talking about the transition from having both breast to having to get her left one removed because of cancer. Her and her son, Jeremy are close and she speaks about how having cancer and this major surgery affects him too; because of his mom's struggle, he starts to feels as if he had an illness too. She clearly can't forget what he said when she first told him about getting her breast removed. He says, "I'm going to get it back for you!" (He was eight at the time). Throughout the play, she talks about her relationships with her family, her hardships with cancer, and her lost love life and being a lesbian.
Towards the end, she sums up her struggle with saying, "Goodbye Franny. Goodbye my friend. Goodbye my left breast, Goodbye my infant son. Goodbye my period. Goodbye 35. Goodbye old neighborhood. Your doctor says "It's Positive." Your lover says, "It's over." And you say goodbye to the person you thought you were." Even though these were not pleasant moments, she looks at all the positive things that are going well and realizes that her missing breast makes her heart a little closer to the open air and more vulnerable. She says, "I cherish this scar. It's a mark of experience. It's the history of me, a permanent fix on the impermanence of it all."

In her writing, Miller has a sort of sloppy style. Meaning, it is not the simple cause-and-effect follow through. Often times, she jumps from time to time. There are no stage directions or explanations that tell you that she has moved on to a new thought. You kind of have to figure it out for yourself. It is very out of order. She may be talking about her son when he was twelve, then she will jump to talking about Franny (her previous lover), then she will go back to Jeremy right after he was born. She touches on everything she wants to share, but it seems like she says it whenever it pops into mind with no clear transitions.
Another choice that Miller makes is when she shows dialogue for the other people she talks about. When she speaks about another person, she actually shares the interaction with the audience and speaks as if she were them. For example, Miller shares the time when the doctor suspected a health problem. She actually speaks as the doctor and herself, bringing back that exact moment:
He said, "What have you been told?"

"Fibroadenoma," I say.

"Well, I'm concerned," he said. "I want to biopsy it."
I like this choice of involving the other people. It doesn't make the play so one-sided. It gives some life of her world or the world of the play.
