LOVE LETTERS

Colin Baker

Louise Jameson
LOVE
LETTERS
chronicles
the lives, loves, triumphs and tragedies of Andrew Makepeace
Ladd the 3rd and Melissa Gardner through their
correspondence spanning more than a generation. With a
bittersweet theme artfully disguised as comedy, it highlights
the subtle yet potentially deadly flaws of upbringing and social
conventions amongst America’s rich elite.
Although
possessed by an irresistible mutual attraction, this pair of
star-crossed lovers live their lives mainly at a distance,
writing frequently over the 40+ years the play
covers. It is a tale of youthful passions, bold behaviour,
stupidity, blind jealousy, but ultimately and tragically one
that proves the old adage that the course of true love never did
run smooth. It is an elegant and witty evening, beautifully
crafted by one of America’s most gifted and prolific
playwrights.
