"Dickinson" garners New York Critical Acclaim,
San Diego Production Is Next"

Written by William Roetzheim and directed by Al Germani
Presented by
Lynx Performance Theatre and
American International Theater

"The director Al Germani, creates a full, specific world out of nearly nothing. Every movement is carefully thought out to tell the story; it is some of the best staging I've seen in a long time. The movement is fluid, his placement of the actors absolutely right on, and for a play which works on such a simple level, he manages to achieve moments of absolute breathtaking magic. You know, you never truly appreciate a director's contribution until you see someone do it so right. "

Ticket Info

" Emily becomes a full force of nature, and boy oh boy does Rhianna Basore bite into the role with the zest of a veteran actor. She is—and I say this without over-hyping my praise—simply magnificent. Her Emily goes from demure to naughty, from athletic to weak, from a pillar of strength to utterly damaged child often within the same beat, and seeing this young actor take the reigns of the play so daringly was inspirational." - NYTheatre.com

" The Emily Dickinson presented in William Roetzheim's Dickinson is nothing like the woman they teach about in school, and thank goodness for that. While that Emily is interesting, this one fascinates in front of our eyes." " Basore throws herself into her role with an almost scary intensity. Her Emily is mercurial, leaping powerfully from emotion to emotion, scene to scene, moment to moment." " Director Al Germani shows his strength as a director and his background in dance and music. The direction in Dickinson often has the feel of choreography, and I mean that in a good way. The action is fluid, the stage pictures interesting, and Germani creates a flow in the production that complements the rhythm of both Dickinson's poetry and Roetzheim's dialogue . . . . definitely a standout production in the Planet Connections festival." - Byrne Harrison NYStageBuzz.com

DICKINSON is a poetically detailed, well researched, enchanting story about a young brilliant woman ( Emily Dickinsen ) with a dazzling poetic talent and her struggle to evolve her personal, artistic and sexual identity while battling her inner and outer Demons.  The production is a captivating, magical journey presented thru the one night dream of a playwright struggling to write a play worthy of her genius, her poetry and her life story.
