Emily & Sue screening at Howland Cultural Center

Filmed in Emily Dickinson's actual room, the opera tells the story of the little-known romantic relationship between Emily Dickinson and her sister-in-law, Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson. Letters between Emily and Sue, as well as Emily’s poetry, document an intimate relationship that was not socially acceptable or legally recognized in 19th-century Massachusetts, exploring themes of isolation, queerness, and forbidden love.
