Ted Hughes/Sylvia Plath
Congratulations, you have been accepted into the final round of Auditions for the part of Sylvia Plath. For this audition you are required to act out the following scene, from the script attached.The part of Plath will not be an easy role, so I have some suggestions on how you should play this role. I also recommend that you read some of Plath’s and Hughes’ poetry to get some ideas as to their opinions of each other. Plath was a very complicated person. She started out with a rough childhood, stemmed mainly from conflict with her father. He was badly wounded by the war, not necessarily physically, but emotionally, he talked almost incessantly about the war, specifically the conflict between Germany and Poland. The effects of the war, and her father, can be seen stro
In another of Hughes’ poems, My Paris, he discusses his experiences and point of views from their honeymoon. In this poem he is highly critical of her, complaining of her apparent inability to find the deeper meaning of various things. He saw Paris as a war broken place, and was solemn and mindful in his comments on the surroundings. Plath on the other hand is said to have made stereotypical shallow comments on various aspects of Paris, although it is my opinion that she was experiencing deep internal grief, war was also a sensitive subject for her – she must avoid it to avoid awakening these painful memories.
