NEW ORLEANS (press release) – “Love Letters” debuts at Rivertown Theaters Thursday, Oct. 1
In this wry and poignant tale told through a half-century of letters, playwright A. R. Gurney has created “an exquisite jewel of a play, “one of the four or five best American plays of the decade,” said Time magazine. See love span the test of time through the story of a 50-year correspondence between two old friends.
The story timeline starts in second grade and details summer vacations, college life and marriages, including children, happiness and heartache. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Love Letters has been performed all over the world, from the New York Public Library to Broadway to Carnegie Hall and back again. Through these written letters, real life theater couples and onstage duos will share a disarmingly funny and unforgettably emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love. Each performance will feature a different “couple”.
