A lifelong love, captured in paper and ink. Just like their characters, Anne Wil Blankers and Hans Croiset share a deep love for stories, for language, for a life that unfolds through words on paper. A love that never fades, that always brings them back to the place where they feel connected to each other and to the audience through stories: the stage.
AR Gurney's acclaimed classic tells the moving story of Melissa and Andrew, who have been friends since childhood. Their lives diverge, yet they remain bound by a passionate correspondence spanning half a century. Performed by two theatrical masters who have lived so many lives, both on and off stage. Their shared experience and chemistry add an extra dimension to this story, which simultaneously paints a picture of the times, honors a great love, and celebrates life itself!
What they dare not say, they write down. They entrust their life story to paper. In this world of lightning-fast communication, their letters form a time capsule of a shared life at a distance. Honest emotions, missed opportunities, and a love that was never allowed to fully blossom. Love Letters shows how words can burn with desire. An intimate story in which every letter heightens the tension and the promise of fulfillment always remains just out of reach.
