The Belle of Amherst coming to SJCT
Posted March 4, 2016 at 5:26 am by Brook Ashcraft
For more than 25 years now, actor/director Jane Fellows of Portland, Oregon has been performing this remarkable one-woman show on the life of poet Emily Dickinson.
“Each time I have the opportunity to share this extraordinary woman and her journey with an audience, I am humbled by her genius and humanity, her insights and perceptions and her feisty non-conformist nature.”
The Belle of Amherst allows the audience an intimate glimpse into the mind, soul, humor, and heart of a person who was ahead of her time.
Emily shares herself through her poems, insights and memories. One of America’s greatest poets was a recluse for much of her life. Through her poems, letters and accounts of visits with friends, this delightful and moving play was conceived and written by William Luce. As visitors in her parlor, the audience becomes part of Emily’s present time in 1883, in Amherst, Massachusetts.
