About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1976. 70pp. Original publisher's pink monochrome laminate wrappers, lettered in black. Lightly scuffed, internally bright and clean. From the estate of Olwyn Hughes, recently dispersed, though no indications of such. Barry Kyle (1947) is a prolific English theatre director, beginning his career at the Liverpool Playhouse in 1969 before becoming assistant director of the RSC in 1973, directing in black box theatre The Other Place - where he concieved, adapted, and staged this dramatisation of Sylvia Plath's poetry and life. Working internationally, he has also directed performances in Czech and Hebrew. He has twice been nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award. This is his only publication. Olwyn Hughes (1928-2016) was a translator, agent and literary executor who had worked in Paris for NATO, Martonplay, and King Peter II of Yugoslavia, among others. After the death of her sister-in-law Sylvia Plath, she returned to England to assist her brother, Ted Hughes, raise his young children, though also took over the management of both his career and Plath's literary estate. While she did have some other clients as a literary agent, including Jean Rhys, much of the rest of her life was dedicated to preserving - and defending - both Plath and Hughes. . First edition. 8vo.
