Love Letters is a play by A. R. Gurney that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III.
Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and
read the notes, letters and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes
and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed
between them throughout their separated lives.
The play is a performance favorite for busy name actors, for it requires little preparation,
and lines need not be memorized.
In the 1990's, the play had lengthy seasons on the West Coast, with many name actors from the movie industry.
