Character Breakdown:
Emily Dickenson, reclusive poet – ethnicity and age not important; actor must be able to play the character at age 53.
A shy, romantic, spinster woman with a quick wit, a mind inclined to wander and an absolute love of words. She knows that people see her as a little off, but she’s comfortable in who she is. She has a childlike wonder that allows her to find meaning in everything. She chooses to be alone, but not lonesome.
