The Belle of Amherst

Back by popular demand, Sound Theatre Company's production of THE BELLE OF AMHERST, by William Luce and starring Maria Glanz performs at Seattle's Center House Theatre. Don't miss the production the Seattle Times calls "Exquisite...A jewel with every aspect in perfect alignment...Glorious!" One of the most beloved American poets, Emily Dickinson is known only through her letters and her vast collection of poems; much of her private, secluded life in Amherst, Massachusetts, in the mid-nineteenth century remains a mystery. Her poetry, published after her death, reveals a contemporary sensibility that transcends the limitations of her provincial life, her gender and her era. Accompanied by cellist Brad Hawkins' live original musical score, William Luce's tour de force one-woman drama utilizes these writings to depict a witty, passionate, and conflicted woman wrestling with the largest questions of existence.
