A Long History of Neglect

2006

Written by Noah Haidle

Directed by Alan Hall

Andy is a young recluse who rarely leaves his closet and has a habit of soiling his pants when he’s nervous. He’s tortured by two neighborhood bullies, his mother works three jobs, and his sister is a slut. But things change once a visit is paid to Andy by the 19th century poetess, Emily Dickinson. This play was done once last year at Princeton University, and aside from that production, this will be its world premier!
