The Belle Of Amherst

This PBS production was filmed before a live audience in Los Angeles, which adds to the theatrical flavor of the performance.

Harris is in her glory as Emily Dickinson and her performance celebrates Dickinson's life, spirit and poetry through subtle body movements, vocal inflections and facial expressions, all enabling Harris to resurrect the renowned 19th century poet.

So powerful Is her performance that, despite the fact she is the only person on the stage, in the scenes when she 'speaks' to family members, it's easy to believe that she is sharing the stage.
