Shut Up, Emily Dickinson at Abrons Arts Center

Emily Dickinson: poet, recluse, a**hole. Loosely based on her Master Letters, Shut UP, Emily Dickinson is a pseudo-historical, quasi-biographical, hysterically existential, sadomasochistic psycho-romance about America's most brilliant and annoying poetess. Holed up for all eternity in the bedroom of our minds, the woman in white stretches into a projection screen for truths, half-truths, truthiness, and truth-less-ness.Written by Tanya O'DebraDirected by Sara WolkowitzOriginal music by Andrew MoreyellowFeaturing Tanya O'Debra & Gregg Belln Shut Up, Emily Dickinson won the 2018 Jill Cummins MacLean Prize and the Ada Comstock Magic Grant at Smith College. I found myself admiring ODebras wild balancing act that captures Dickinsons odd soul youll find yourself laughing guiltily. CityBeatPart comedy roast, and part celebration of Dickinson and her work.
