Description
"'With a writer who had never written a play, an actress who had never taken the stage alone, and a director who had never headed a live performance, The Belle of Amherst managed to become an American theater classic. Despite being savaged by critics attending its opening night in April 1976, the play, which details the life of Emily Dickinson, survived its baptism by fire and went on to appear in theaters across the world. This is the remarkable untold story of "the little play that could.' Covering the play's humble beginnings as well as its pioneers -- like writer William Luce, director Charles Nelson Reilly and actress Julie Harris -- this work also documents the modern efforts to keep the play alive in the time of COVID-19. Exploring the show's enduring dramatic power, this book ultimately pays respect to the one-woman show that has triumphed for decades"--
