Catch this: The Belle of Amherst at Wallingford's most intimate theatre

Today in local theatre

There are still a few nights left to catch Maria Glanz in the one-woman play about Emily Dickinson, The Belle of Amherst, by William Luce. The Sound Theatre Company production includes an original score, performed live by composer Brad Hawkins. It being a Thursday, tonight's performance is "pay what you can."

From Sound Theatre Company's website:
"Emily Dickinson is known only through her letters and her vast collection of poems; much of her private, secluded life in Amherst in the mid-nineteenth century remains a mystery. Her poetry, published after her death, reveals a contemporary sensibility which transcends the limitations of her provincial life, her gender and her era."

The show plays through February 6 (Thursday, Friday, Saturdays at 8:00pm, Sunday at 3:00pm).
