The Belle of Amherst delicately explores the life of America's greatest woman poet at various stages in her experience from the age of 15, when she was full of hope and success, until she died at 56, a virtual recluse with her door closed against society. Emily Dickinson’s life is recreated with liberal excerpts from her poetry and by the method of her playing the roles of her father, teacher and friends.
Crafted from diary entries, letters, and poems by Emily Dickinson, The Belle of Amherst is a spellbinding and personal look at the life of one of America’s greatest poets.
The production features the return of the beloved actress Maureen Silliman to the Two River stage and will be directed by Two River Founder Robert Rechnitz, who was a Professor of American Literature at Monmouth University for 35 years.
