Based on the life and poems of Emily Dickinson, The Belle of Amherst is an inspiring biographical portrait of a famous and eccentric spinster who is one of America's greatest literary figures (1,775 poems). Playwright William Luce creates an entertaining and anecdotal revelation of Dickinson's life and art. With a wicked sense of humor, Emily tweaks Victorian pretensions, performs deadpan impressions of the people around her and mocks her own idiosyncrasies. Ginger Grace stars as the passionate and mysterious poet who, though plain and reclusive, has an intoxicating exuberance for life.
