Words from William Luce prefacing his work:
“The Belle of Amherst is a love affair with language, a celebration of all that is beautiful and poignant in life. As it turns out, shy Miss Emily was writing for theatre as surely as she breathed. In her every evocative phrase there is theatrical texture. On stage, the strange ways of Emily Dickinson become dramatic qualities…Thus, the theatre seems a thoroughly appropriate setting for Emily’s life and art, enabling actor and audience to ‘climb the Bars of Ecstasy’ together.”
