Playwright Ngozi Anyanwu and Tony nominee Daniel J. Watts will star in the world premiere of Anyanwu's The Last of the Love Letters, running September 13-26 at the Atlantic Theater Company's Linda Gross Theater. The production will be directed by Patricia McGregor.

The Last of the Love Letters is described as "a plea and a painful goodbye wrapped into one" as two people contemplate the thing they love most and whether to "stick it out or leave it behind." Casting for a third role will be announced at a later date.

McGregor's production will feature scenic design by Yu-Hsuan Chen, costume design by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Stacey Derosier, sound design by Twi McCallum, production stage management by Imani Champion, and casting by the Telsey Office.
