This riveting new drama by Sharmon Hilfinger tells the story of the personal crisis that spurred the young Emily Dickinson to find her remarkably idiosyncratic poetic voice. This World Premiere contains original songs by Joan McMillan based on several of Dickinson’s poems.

Tell It Slant portrays the little-known story of Emily Dickinson as a young woman, tracing an emotionally volatile love triangle involving Emily, her brother Austin, and their intimate friend Susan Gilbert. Set in the Dickinson family’s Amherst, Massachusetts home and environs, the play follows Emily through her formative years. Inwardly rebellious, but outwardly obedient, she continually finds herself at odds with the social expectations of the time. Calling herself “a boy,” Emily bands together with her older brother Austin against the authority of their parents and the oppressive evangelism of the 1840s.
