Alison's House

Alison's House is a drama play in three acts by American playwright Susan Glaspell.

In May 1931 the production was transferred uptown to the Ritz Theatre, but it received indifferent reviews and closed after two weeks.

[1] It is 18 years since Alison Stanhope, the country's foremost poet, died.

The play's struggles are set in 1899, on the cusp of the 20th century, in which very different values will come to prevail.

Inspired by the life and work of the American poet Emily Dickinson, Glaspell set the play in her native Iowa.
