Playreaders: “Love Letters by A.R. Gurney” [] Teatro Santa Ana en la Biblioteca

In this age of instant communication, iPhones and Twitter, Love Letters, by A. R. Gurney, brings memories of a simpler time.  It’s a beautiful play, a tender, tragi-comic, and nuanced examination of the shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and deep closeness of two lifelong friends.

On Broadway “Love Letters”, a Pulitzer finalist, has included appearances by many well-known actors, among them Carol Burnett, Alan Alda, Candice Bergen, Stacy Keach, Diana Rigg, Anjelica Huston and Martin Sheen and even a revival pairing of Mia Farrow and Brian Dennehy.

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III wrote his first letter to Melissa Gardner to tell her she looked like a lost princess. They were both seven years old. For the next fifty years, through personal triumphs and despair, through wars and marriages and children and careers, they poured out the secrets of their hearts to each other. They defied a fate that schemed to keep them apart, and lived—through letters—for the one most meaningful thing, their undying love for each other.

San Miguel Playreaders is so pleased to bring you this play, directed by Gina Giampaoli Márquez, and presenting Marthe Fraser and Frank Simons as Melissa and Andrew.  Please come with us on this heartwarming journey into friendship and love.
