Emily Dickinson & I
The Journey of a Portrayal

Sunday, 26th September, 3pm

A one-woman play about writing, acting and getting into Emily Dickinson's dress.  Movingly told and intensely personal, Emily Dickinson & I is about the relationship between a dead poet and her living admirer, separated by a continent and a century.  It tells the story of the attempt to write a play that will capture Emily's essence.  But how can she be made to breathe without putting words in her mouth? On the other hand, how can she be made three-dimensional on the stage if only her extant written words are used?  And when is biography not also autobiographical?  A beautifully woven biography of both artists is intriguingly played out in this well-wrought and original piece of work.
