The Edge at the Bleecker Street Theatre
The Artists Theatre Group presents Paul Alexander's one-woman show Edge, at the newly renovated Theatres at 45 Bleecker Street from 18 Oct 2007, where the drama is currently booking through to 16 Dec 207.
The show recently had a four week run at the ArcLight Theatre which ran from 4 Sep - 6 Oct 2007.
Edge is set on the last day in the life of Sylvia Plath, one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century. Deals with Plath's life as a whole, including her early years in Boston, the untimely death of her brilliant father, and her infamous suicide attempt of 1953, which became the basis of her classic novel, The Bell Jar. It also examines her tumultuous marriage to the dark, enigmatic poet, Ted Hughes, and ultimately reveals the unsettling sequence of events that ended with her death.
Directed by its author Paul Alexander, the play is performed by Angelica Torn.
