The Belle of Amherst, Starring Joely Richardson as Emily Dickinson, Opens Off-Broadway

Stage and screen star Joely Richardson officially opens in William Luce's The Belle of Amherst off-Broadway on October 19. Directed by Steve Cosson, the revival is playing at the Westside Theatre.

In The Belle of Amherst, Emily Dickinson’s poems, diaries and letters are woven into an illuminating portrait of the prolific wordsmith. Dickinson’s encounters with close friends and family and her often-amusing observations come to life in the one-woman-play.

The limited engagement will run through January 25, 2015.
