Set in the home of Emily Dickenson in Amherst, Massachusetts 1845-1886, this one-woman play tells Emily’s story through anecdotes based on biographical information, her letters and her poems. As Emily reminisces about the people and experiences in her life, we come to understand the individual and how she chose to live as she did.

Emily Dickenson, reclusive poet – ethnicity and age not important; actor must be able to play the character at age 53.
A shy, romantic, spinster woman with a quick wit, a mind inclined to wander, and an absolute love of words. She knows that people see her as a little off, but she’s comfortable in who she is. She has a childlike wonder that allows her to find meaning in everything. She chooses to be alone, but not lonesome.
