In a benefit for the Core Theatre Group, Randy Graff and Alfred Molina star in A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters on Monday, August 31 at 7 PM at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist for Drama, Love Letters is a two-hander about two lifelong friends and the letters they exchange. Andrew and Melissa, both born into wealth and position, begin their correspondence in childhood with birthday party thank-you notes. Their letters continue through their boarding school and college years while they are romantically attached and later through their individual marriages and careers.
Love Letters premiered Off-Broadway at the Promenade Theatre on March 27, 1989. Directed by John Tillinger, the production opened with Kathleen Turner and John Rubinstein, and featured a new cast each week. On October 3, 1989, the play premiered on Broadway at the Edison Theatre, opening with Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards and again featuring a rotating cast. Performers included Christopher Reeve, Holland Taylor, Christopher Walken, Victor Garber, Lynn Redgrave, Jane Curtin and more.
