A bittersweet and intimate play by A.R. Gurney, LOVE LETTERS is a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Drama about two lifelong friends and the letters they exchanged.
Andrew and Melissa begin their correspondence in childhood with birthday party thank-you notes. Their letters continue through their boarding school and college years while they are romantically attached, and later through their individual marriages and careers. Now, sitting side by side reading decades of saved writings, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – everything that has passed between them throughout their separated lives.
The show will be presented February 5, 6, & 7 at 7:30pm at Stage West Studio (300 Sheyenne St #120, West Fargo) in a reader’s theatre format (limited staging, scripts in hand). All tickets will be “Pay What You Will” with a suggestion donation of $10.00.
