America’s Most Romantic Play
Love letters exchanged over a lifetime…

Pulitzer Prize nominated play, Love Letters, by A.R. Gurney is comprised of romantic letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share their beautiful love for each other through letters.

First written & performed in 1988 at the NY Public Library, close to 60 diverse actors, mostly celebrities, have performed the play since then. In the words of the author, the play “needs no theatre, no lengthy rehearsal, no special set, no memorization of lines, and no commitment from its two actors beyond the night of the performance.”
