Love Letters
by A.R. Gurney


A bittersweet relationship unfolds through letters written over a lifetime

Love Letters was initially presented by the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, Connecticut on November 3, 1988. It was remounted at the Promenade Theatre in New York City the following year, and in 1989 it opened on Broadway at the Edison Theatre. Many well-known actors assumed the roles of Andy and Melissa in New York including Kathleen Turner, Jason Robards, Colleen Dewhurst, William Hurt, Marsh Mason, Christopher Reeve, Blythe Danner, and Christopher Walken to name a few.

According to the playwright, Love Letters began as a series of finger exercises as Gurney was teaching himself how to use a computer. The exercises began to cluster around a story, found a life for itself, and grew into a stage play.
