Letters Home

on BBC Radio 3

by ROSE LEIMAN coi.dhmherg, based on Letters Home, edited and with commentary by AURELIA SCHOBER PLATH
On a cold winter's day In London, 1963, the American poet
Sylvia Plath committed suicide at the age of 30. An attractive and highly-talented writer, she had struggled with her inner despair but, unable to accept defeat or rejection. she finally lost the will to live. Her relationship with her mother was one of mutual dependence, and the hundreds of letters to her which she left behind provide a fascinating insight into her character.
Directed by CHERRY COOKSON (Originally produced with the same cast at the New End Theatre, London)
