Today at The Multi-Use Community Cultural Center (MuCCC) (142 Atlantic Ave.) is a performance of Edge at 7:30 p.m. According to The Method Machine, "Edge is set on the last day of the poet Sylvia Plath's life, in her kitchen, and reflects on her childhood, her husband-poet Ted Hughes, and her work. Plath takes account of her actions as well as the actions of others and uses them to fuel her tragic flaw: passion. The prolific writer took her life on a cold February day in 1963, after being abandoned by the greatest thing and the worst thing that ever happened to her: her husband. The play examines the events that led up to her turning on that gas stove and passing into a sleep from which she would never wake."
