2nd Wednesday Theater:  The Belle of Amherst

2nd Wednesday Theater: The Belle of Amherst

Presented by Cotuit Center for the Arts at Cotuit Center for the Arts

October 14

In The Belle of Amherst, Emily Dickinson welcomes audiences into her lifelong Amherst homestead in mid-19th century Massachusetts. While Dickinson found solace in solitude through much of her life, acclaimed playwright William Luce weaves her poems, diaries, and letters into a one-woman portrait of one of America’s greatest and most prolific poets, mixing Dickinson’s encounters with close friends and family with the poet’s own, often amusing observations. “Full of passion and poetry and heart” (New York Daily News), The Belle of Amherst illuminates a brilliant wordsmith through the words she left behind.

Presented by Linda Monchik.

Part of the 2nd Wednesday Theater staged reading series, a monthly play-reading of rarely-performed classic, undiscovered gems, old chestnuts, and exciting new works.

2nd Wednesdays at 7:30pm in the Main Performance Space
