Synopsis

No Wider Than the Heart is based on the life and work of the famous American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.

To prepare for this project, the playwright was invited to live at Steepletop,Edna St. Vincent Millay's home in up-state New York,and was given access to all her private papers and memorabilia.

This hitherto untapped source, the early diaries at the Library of Congress, and, of course, the poetry itself form the basis for this new, fresh look at this remarkable poet and woman.

Two actors play the role,one, the young, phenomenally famous one whose "candle burns at both ends" and one, the more mature but equally famous one of Fatal Interview and Conversation at Midnight.

The girl-woman, in the company of her mother, husband and lovers, comes alive in all her emotional depth.
