Britain's What's On Event Guide
Emily Dickinson & I
Surrey-based LynchPin Theatre celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024! And to celebrate, it is reviving its very first play, Emily Dickinson & I - at Petersfield Museum on February 8th.
The play charts an actor’s journey into the heart and soul of America’s foremost female poet, Emily Dickinson, as she strives to create a one-woman play about her literary heroine. But Emily is elusive. Edie Campbell leads the audience through her 14-year journey of writing, researching, performing… and getting into Emily Dickinson’s dress. The result is an intricately-woven dual biography of poet and actor, as Campbell makes sense of her own experiences through Dickinson’s poems and letters. First produced in 1999, it launched LynchPin on its theatrical journey.
‘Campbell is electric…’ TIME OUT
‘Edie Campbell is absolutely compelling… she expertly highlights what it means to be truly in love with literature. A warm and delicious paean to the bibliophile in us all.’ **** THE LIST
‘a production of rare integrity’ **** Critics’ Choice, The Scotsman
