SYLVIA SYLVIA SYLVIA is a world premiere from playwright Beth Hyland, set to run at the Geffen Playhouse. The story follows Sally, a former acclaimed novelist struggling with writer's block as she confronts her husband's rising literary fame. Seeking inspiration in the Boston apartment once occupied by Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, Sally's encounters begin to blur reality and imagination, leading her to confront the true cost of her art. Directed by Jo Bonney, this tragicomic thriller explores themes of creativity and obsession.
