According to The New York Times, sources have confirmed that producers Nelle Nugent, Barbara Broccoli, and Fred Zollo are currently developing a Broadway revival of A.R. Gurney's two-character piece LOVE LETTERS, which is reportedly aiming to open at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in 2015. Tony nominee Gregory Mosher is attached to direct.

A deal has yet to be made, with the revival contingent on casting. The Times' sources, two other Broadway producers aware of the plan, have said that Anjelica Huston is currently in talks to potentially star. Talks with other actors are also ongoing.

Previous actors to have played the roles include Stockard Channing, Elaine Stritch, John Rubinstein and others.

BroadwayWorld will keep you updated as news surrounding the planned 2015 revival emerge.

A unique and imaginative theatre piece, LOVE LETTERS is made up of letters exchanged over a lifetime between Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences through correspondence. Beginning with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards, Love Letters follows Andy and Melissa through college, marriage and careers. The evening becomes a touching and frequently funny journey between two compelling characters that share a life and love through letters. LOVE LETTERS was a Puliltzer Prize finalist 1990.
