Goodbye to the Belle
Last Saturday saw the final performance of The Belle of Amherst, perhaps the most unique production we've ever put on in the Ennotville Library. For three weeks Sara Dunbar dazzled as Emily Dickinson, creating an aura of believability and charm that fit perfectly with the intimate staging and the library setting which, with only minimal adjustments, was able to very accurately reflect Emily's family home in 1883 - after all, by 1883 the Ennotville Library had already been standing for almost 40 years!
I would like to say a huge thanks to Rachel, Pam and Sara for bringing this show to life. The passion, dedication and perseverance of these three ladies was perhaps the most fitting tribute to Dickinson and her work. They have proven that there's no project too deep for us at Grinder, no play we can't get into, work through, and understand well enough to bring it to life onstage.
