Production Notes
Take a good story. add two interesting
characters. Then take away all the typical theater
effects and what do you have? Love Letters by A.R. Gurney.
This unique, moving play focuses on the special
life-long relationship between a man and a woman,
as shown solely through the reading of their love
letters to one another.
The subtle brilliance of this work lies in its
characterizations and adherance to basic principles
of good theatre. The staging is deceptively simple:
the lack of props and setting lets the beauty
of the story shine through. We hope those of you who saw it, enjoyed this extraordinary correspondence!
