NEW YORK (AP) β Joely Richardson is coming back to a New York stage in something she never thought she’d do β a one-woman show.
The English actress known for the TV shows “The Tudors” and “Nip/Tuck” will play poet Emily Dickinson in William Luce’s “The Belle of Amherst.”
Says the actress: “I always swore to myself that I would never do a one-woman show. I thought, ‘That’s for crazy people.’ And then I read it.”
The play, directed by Steve Cosson, will begin performances Oct. 7 at the off-Broadway Westside Theatre, with an opening night set for Oct. 19. Tickets are now on sale.
Richardson was last onstage in New York in “Ivanov” for the Classic Stage Company opposite Ethan Hawke in 2012 and MCC Theater’s “Side Effects” in 2012.
