The play
A Romanian translation of a play that investigates the tumultuous lives of Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath and Assia Wevill, through the eyes of a mysterious girl. A story that is global in reach and a Romanian translation that carefully preserves the play’s multilingual richness.
At the core of the play there is a magic, surrealist temporality, a theme that is dear to Romanian psyche.
