The Belle of Amherst
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 originally presented at the Gloucester Stage Company 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.
