"Dying Is An Art", is a biographical sketch of the famous poet Sylvia Plath. The script was originally the doctoral work of Dr. P. Rajani, and he has directed this play many years back in Chennai, during his time in University of Madras. The play was conducted at Central Lecture Complex 2 in Central University of Tamil Nadu on February 15, 2014, Saturday. This was also in commemoration of Sylvia Plath's death anniversary, which was on February 11, 1963. The play was performed again, during the Annual Literary Festival 2014, Central University of Tamil Nadu.
The play portrays various characters of Sylvia, as Sylvia gets older with time. There is a mental clash that occurs among her different faces, and this brings her memories back into the scene.
