Fri 13th & Sat 14th – LynchPin Theatre production, The Mill Studio, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, GU1 3UX.


Godalming-based LynchPin Theatre will be celebrating its 25th birthday by reviving its very first play, Emily Dickinson & I — the journey of a portrayal. The play charts an actor’s journey into the heart and soul of America’s foremost female poet, Emily Dickinson. Actor Edie Campbell leads the audience through her 14-year journey of writing, researching, performing… and putting on Emily Dickinson’s dress. The result is an intricately woven dual biography of poet and actor, as Campbell makes sense of her own experiences through Dickinson’s poems and letters. Devised by Edie Campbell and Jack Lynch, Emily Dickinson & I premiered at The Mill Studio, Guildford, in December 1999 before a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Festival and tours, launching LynchPin on its theatrical journey. The play returns to The Mill Studio, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, GU1 3UX, on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 December. For tickets phone 01483 440 000 or visit www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/whats-on.
