Written by A.R. Gurney (“Pete”) in 1989, “Love Letters” has enjoyed tremendous success all over the world. Gurney is one of the most prolifically produced playwrights in America and his works primarily focus on the issues and realities of middle-class American life. This play is no exception. Two enthralling characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, exchange letters in a warm, complicated friendship which spans 50 years. Reported in The Wall Street Journal as “Exhilarating, funny and moving” the play takes you on a journey like no other – privy to all the nuances of a beautiful relationship which is only fully revealed in the bittersweet ending. Valda Hinz and Peter Meikle are taking great care to present this production with the same integrity and realism which have seen this play become critically acclaimed.
