LynchPin Theatre Company focuses uniquely on historical, literary figures and their influence on the individual and the world at large. Our productions bring these figures into the present through creating performances where actor and subject meet, enabling a dialogue between the actor, the subject and the audience, allowing the interplay between biography and autobiography. Our current productions are:

"[AS Byatt's] Possession and Emily Dickinson & I, represent two of the most significant creative responses to Dickinson within England in recent years. ... Like a dramatic embodiment of the Dickinson dash, the play jumps between time and place, juxtaposing Campbell's personal history and Dickinson's life and work, in subtle, suggestive ways."
