Dear Elizabeth, written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Christina Casano, explores the 30-year correspondence between literary icons Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. Through their letters, the play reveals their deep friendship, vulnerabilities, and the influence of their artistry on each other's lives. The production features Leah Karpel as Elizabeth and Christopher Sheard as Robert, showcasing the transformative power of language and the complexities of human connection. Designed to provide an intimate look into the lives of these two poets, the performance runs from October 17 to November 17 at Theater Wit.
