About This Show

“Love Letters” by A.R. Gurney 

 
In this touching, funny, award-winning play, Andrew Makepeace Ladd III accepts an invitation to Melissa Gardner’s birthday party, and Melissa writes a thank you note to ask just why he gave her “The Lost Princess of Oz” (answer: she looks like a lost princess), a romantic friendship and correspondence destined to last for almost half a century is born. 
The friends communicate with each other through boarding school experiences, European adventures, failed marriages, and career moves.
 
Over the course of their lives, Andy and Melissa’s relationship goes through many changes, as they remain each other’s most trusted confidante.
 
While spanning five decades and numerous locations, “Love Letter” is staged simply, with two actors behind desks letting their words describe a world of emotion. 
 
Florida Repertory Theatre Artistic Director, Greg Longenhagen and his wife, longtime local theatre professional, Liz Abbott star in this tender and unforgettable love story.
 
“With “Love Letters” Gurney explores these themes with uncommon sensitivity, unveiling the story of two lives with the same mysterious grace one might encounter in a good novel.” – Theatremania.
