In the Tony Award-Winning The Belle of Amherst William
Luce draws heavily on the poems, letters and first hand accounts
of Emily Dickinson to sculpt a one-woman play that is an inspiring,
poignant and truthful biography of one of America’s greatest
literary women. Through scintillating weavings of poetry, letters,
dramatic flashbacks and narrative, we are transported to the people
and events that shaped her secluded life. Academy Award nominee,
Lindsay Crouse, brings this production to Peterborough prior to
a New York run.
“[Emily Dickinson’s] private life, thoughts and dreams
and her poetic genius have been strikingly and movingly captured
by William Luce... a touching and steadily absorbing evening even
to those who know so little about the superb poet.” - New
York Post.
