Vivienne Holland, an enormously talented yet mentally fragile woman, comes of age in mid-century America and dreams of becoming a famous writer. However, trapped by the restrictions of pre-feminist society, a scientifically limited medical system unprepared to cope adequately with her mental illness, and her own tragic family background, she faces daunting obstacles. Complicating matters, she falls in love with a charismatic but abusive English poet, and the two of them, moving between the East Coast of America and early 1960's London, set out to blaze a trail that will change the landscape of both American and English literature forever.
But at what cost? While Vivienne is a brilliant artist, she must struggle to overcome impossible odds in pursuit of her dreams while dealing with her tumultuous love affair and her slow and tragic descent into madness.
Inspired by the life of Sylvia Plath, Fabulous Beasts, a story all its own, tackles the complexities of art, abuse, mental illness, and the sacrifices we choose to make.
