EMILY DICKINSONI'M NOBODY! WHO ARE YOU?
ARE YOU NOBODY, TOO? THEN THERE'S A PAIR OF US - DON'T TELL! THEY'D BANISH US YOU KNOW. HOW DREARY TO BE SOMEBODY! HOW PUBLIC, LIKE A FROG TO TELL YOUR NAME THE LIVELONG DAY TO AN ADMIRING BOG! ~Emily Dickinson ******************************** The play is a personal portrayal of the life and work of the seclusive American poet. Interwoven from her poems, excerpts of letters and the playwright’s creativity, it is as if the poet is telling her own story. The theater is a small space intentionally selected for its suitability of this intimate theatrical experience. Modern audiences will be drawn into the world of this revolutionary 19th Century poet whose works of universal truth and beauty resonate powerfully today. PERFORMER Nina is an actor and theatrical clown. Her love for Emily Dickinson’s poetry and fascination with her extraordinary life inspired this production. Nina's experience with solo performance and audience interaction will enhance this exquisite portrait of the artist. DIRECTOR Austin Pendleton is an actor, director and playwright. His credits are too numerous to list here. |
