Emily Dickinson: poet, recluse. Loosely based on the Master
Letters, “Shut Up, Emily Dickinson” is a pseudo-historical, quasi-biographical,
hysterically existential psycho-romance about America's most brilliant and
annoying poetess. Holed up for all eternity in the bedroom of our minds, the
“woman in white” stretches into a projection screen for truths,
half-truths, and truth-less-ness.
She’s whatever you want her to be and nothing you imagined. Emily Dickinson is
the definition of a difficult woman.
Written by Tanya Ritchie and directed by Mary Beth Brooker,
Smith College will present “Shut Up, Emily Dickinson” on Thursday, March 22 at
7:30pm. Free and open to the public.
