Literature history takes centre stage

Key points

• Liz Hicklin, now 95, will present her life story at Bowery Theatre in St Albans on Tuesday 27 October. The production, Sylvia Plath Stole My Boyfriend, is a funny and personal show about love, loss and finding your voice.
• Hicklin was 20 when her 18-month relationship with poet Ted Hughes ended after he met Sylvia Plath. Hughes' letters to her are now held by the British Library, but the show focuses on her own life.
• It runs from 2.00pm to 3.00pm at 33 Princess Street. Entry is free, but bookings are required.
