Britain's What's On Event Guide
Emily Dickinson & I
To celebrate Godalming-based LynchPin Theatre’s 25th birthday, it is reviving its very first play, Emily Dickinson & I - the journey of a portrayal. The play charts an actor’s journey into the heart and soul of America’s foremost female poet, Emily Dickinson.
Actor 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.
Devised by Edie Campbell and Jack Lynch, Emily Dickinson & I premiered at the same venue, The Mill Studio, in December 1999 before a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Festival and tours of the UK, USA, Canada and Europe, launching LynchPin on its theatrical journey.
