Laurel Green of the Australian Stage recently reviewed Sylvia Plath: The Girl Who Wanted to be God, a stage production "using Plath's poems, diaries, and letters to her mother" written by Karen Corbett, Rosemary Johns, and Brenda Palmer.
The review was posted on the 19th, and the performances ended on the 20th. Doesn't make much sense to me either.
This work seems contrived from other dramatic adaptations, written in the 1970s, by Barry Kyle and Rose Leiman Goldemburg.
I'd love to read the script to be able to judge for myself, but as Laurel Green concludes her review, thing kind of interpretation "merely reminded me [Green] to return to the page, as Plath's words are the closest we can get to her self."
This isn't the first time around the block for the production. Here is a link to a review in 2002 written by Helen Thomson of The Age.
