'Love Letters' by A. R. Gurney
New Era Players present their latest production of A.R. Gurney’s play, ‘Love Letters’, which was a finalist for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. When the young Andrew Makepeace Ladd III accepts an invitation to Melissa Gardner’s birthday party, a romantic friendship and correspondence destined to last for almost half a century is born. Both from affluent, American East Coast families the friends communicate with each other through the angst-ridden experiences and the ups and downs of life. A.R. Gurney’s ‘Love Letters’ is a tender, tragi-comic examination of the shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends. While spanning five decades and numerous locations, it is staged simply, with two actors letting their words describe a world of emotion.
