BGT: New play based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson

The BGT, an English language theatre company, is putting on a play about the life and poetry of Emily Dickinson. Writer Eloïse Heger-Hedløy and director Tony Kingston joined Melissa to tell us about the play which will run at Lycée Michel Rodange on 27, 28 and 29 of April. Eloïse graduated from ISL in 2022 and was looking for a project to do during her gap year before attending the Californian institute of arts. That's when she came across the poetry of Emily Dickinson which inspired her to write her very first play: “I can’t tell you – but you feel it - “. For Tony and his wife (the co-founder of the theatre company), it has become highly important to support plays written by or heavily featuring women. The next play they will be putting on at Neimënster "Daisy pulls it off" prominently features a cast of young women.
