Emily F***ing Dickinson

Poet. Recluse. Icon. This is not your English teacher’s Emily Dickinson. Emily F-ing Dickinson: America’s Favorite Recluse is an original solo musical, books, music, lyrics, and performed by Shelley Cooper—a feral, funny, and fiercely musical dive into the mind of a woman who refused to play by anyone’s rules. Featuring a score of original songs inspired by her poetry and spirit. The show is intimate, manic, a little unhinged, and unexpectedly hilarious. Part concert, part confession, part rebellion—it’s one wild night you definitely didn’t read about in class.
