*About the Play*

*The Belle of Amherst,* written and first performed by Julie Harris, is a
whimsical one-woman show based on the life of Emily Dickinson.  The play
gives a voice to one of America's greatest and most enigmatic poets. Drawn
from Emily's poetry and letters, *The Belle of Amherst* is a living
autobiography of a true nonconformist. The play gives Emily the chance,
using a stream of conscious flow of poetry and musings, to introduce herself
to a new generation of readers.  From her recipe for fruit cake to the
process by which her poems were published, Emily shares her personal life
and her career as a woman of letters.
