Love Letters

February 3-4, 2024

By special arrangement, Fool Moon Theatre is proud to present LOVE LETTERS, just in time for Valentine's Day.

One of A.R. Gurney's most beloved plays, LOVE LETTERS is a tender, tragi-comic, and nuanced examination of the shared nostalgia, missed opportunities, and deep closeness of two lifelong, complicated friends. Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner exchange letters, but not marriage vows, in a warm and complicated friendship lasting 50 years.

Because Andrew and Melissa choose others as mates, and live to regret it, Love Letters has a wistful tone: beneath the sparkle expected from Gurney, lie sadness and remorse. We invite you to share this special event with someone you love, or someone who shares your love of live theater.
