About the Show

Through a series of letters between a struggling writer in New York, Helene Hanff, and the proprietor of an antiquarian book store in London, Frank Doel, and some of his employees, 84, Charing Cross Road spans the course of 1949 through 1969 and is both a tale of a love of literature and personal affection as a request for rare books develops into a lifelong connection.
