WHPL presents "The Belle of Amherst"...

Dear TAML member,

"The Belle of Amherst" by William Luce is being presented at the West Haven Public Library (WHPL). Based on the life of Miss Emily Dickinson her poetry unfolds the mysteries of her eccentric love affair with language. Miss Emily became the local eccentric of her small Massachusetts town - not as the belle, as she had hoped. Rarely leaving her father's house for
56 years, she spent many hours secretly recording her private thoughts. After her death these writings were discovered and have become some of the most endearing verses in American literature.

Featuring Valerie Proto as Miss Emily under the direction of Bradley Green. William Luce draws heavily on the poems, letters and first hand accounts of Emily Dickinson to sculpt a one-woman play that is an inspiring, poignant and truthful biography of one of America's greatest literary women.
