THE BELLE OF AMHERST By WILLIAM LUCE is a poignant and humorous portrayal of the reclusive 19th-Century poet, Emily Dickinson. From her home in Amherst, Massachusetts, the poet confides directly to the audience the joy and pain of her secluded life. Through shared poems, letters and recollections of encounters with significant people in Dickinson’s life, the play reveals her piercing wit and the striking beauty of her work. Overlooked in her own lifetime, Emily Dickinson needs to be celebrated aloud over the cacophony of our time–redirecting attention to what is essential and truthful. This gently powerful play provides refuge from the turbulent world of the 21st Century. The small theater space was intentionally selected for its optimal ability to capture the intimate nature of the play. The simple production design complements that intention.
