WILLIAM ROETZHEIM'S DICKINSON TO MAKE 3 WEEK OFF BROADWAY ENGAGEMENT
Published 2010-06-01
William Roetzheim's play DICKINSON comes to New York for a three week limited engagement Off Broadway timed to align with the opening of the Emily Dickinson Garden exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden. According to playwright William Roetzheim, "The myth of Emily Dickinson is that she was a prudish Victorian spinster who wrote beautiful poetry. The reality of Emily Dickinson was that she was a stunning creative intellect coping with an emotionally and sexually abusive Father, an enabling mother, surfacing lesbian feelings, raging sexual emotions, and mental breakdowns. This play brings the real Emily Dickinson to life, with all of her depth and complexities, and takes the audience on a magical journey of love and discovery."
In DICKINSON at the Producer's Club Grande Theater, the secret story of Emily Dickinson is told thru the one-night dream of a playwright struggling to write a play worthy of her genius. This is a well researched, enchanting story of a brilliant woman with a dazzling talent-and her struggle to evolve her personal, artistic and sexual identity while battling inner and outer Demons. A quest for answers and an examination of possibilities, DICKINSON will run from June 1st through June 19th at the Producer's Club Grand Theatre, 358 West 44TH ST. Tickets and the specific show schedule are available on www.smarttix.com.
