Touching, personal and funny, Love Letters follows the 50 year
relationship of Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and
Melissa
Gardner, as told through their letters to each other over a lifetime. In
a simple style highlighting the talented actors, the play displays the
power of the written word, and highlights the lost art of letter
writing. Gurney's play reminds us that personal connections, friendships
and love are all-important in our crazy world, and are too often lost in
the fray of our busy lives.

With scenery, props, costumes, sound systems, script misprints and more
all working against them, they still manage to put on the show and touch
our hearts, all while tickling our funny bones. Sure to be a holiday
celebration not soon forgotten.
"Not since the Monty Python mob
dressed up as The Batley Townswomen's Guild and re enacted the Battle of
Pearl Harbor with their handbags have I tittered so much." Daily

A joyous and touching exploration and celebration of
people in their prime.
"A musical about aging that is
irrepressibly young at heart.... This is neither a musical with a story
nor a random collage, but a show on a single subject, with music
thematically integrated.... Necessarily, the show is also concerned with
dying, but it is never depressing. Instead it is rejuvenating.... Many
of the lines are
pungent, and the songs maintain a level of
sophistication even when dealing with potentially sentimental
matters.... the first act is fine; the second act soars."-- N.Y. Times.
