Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the novel's publication, Crescent Arts Centre's resident company Green Room Productions presents The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

A modern classic, The Bell Jar vividly captures the superficial reality of 1950's America with it's dark humour and wit. Extremely talented and with a prestigious internship on a New York Magazine, Esther Greenwood dreams of becoming a writer. Yet she finds herself spiralling into confusion and depression, that makes her world increasingly unreal. This is her journey to the edge of darkness and back.

Terry Blain, Irish Theatre Magazine, on Green Room's last production

'The key ideas ... are incisively and economically communicated in this stimulatingly succinct adaptation. It makes for an uneasy, thought-provoking seventy minutes'.
