Description
Love Letters by A. R. Gurney was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1988. The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters, and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.
Performed countless times since its premiere, “Love Letters” remains a perennial favorite for actors and audiences.
