William Luce's
Tony-Award Winning play, The Belle of Amherst
magically brings Emily Dickinson to life
before our very eyes. |

| "With the intelligence of her interpretation of the role, and with the
wit, range and versatility of her acting, Mary Wadkins turned Luce's
ambitious play into a tour de force that did not explain
Dickinson of her work, but brought her to life. It was an
impressive and memorable performance." |

When it is said
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live

Two Versions to
Choose From |
|
|
|
The
Full Production
has two acts and runs approximately
two hours. It fully explores Emily's passion in her
relationships with her childhood friends, her father, her
"master" and her desperate need to
write. Interwoven with Emily's greatest poems, this
production is an intrepid exploration of the remarkable woman
behind the words.
|
The
One Hour Production
is an encapsulation of the full
production that brings the essence of Emily, her poetry and her
relationships to life simply and enjoyably. This concise
version can be adapted to be as short as 45 minutes, or as long as
needed.
Recommended
for younger audiences. |
|
|
|
|

of Amherst has been successfully performed in

theaters. |
