Love Letters at Beverly Arts Center

In the unique world of Love Letters, a play by A.R. Gurney, there's no grand set, elaborate costumes, or dramatic action. Instead, the power of the story unfolds through the simple act of two actors sitting at separate tables, reading aloud a lifetime of letters and cards exchanged between two characters: Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III.

The play opens with Melissa and Andrew, seemingly strangers, facing the audience. As they begin to read, we're transported into their world, spanning nearly 50 years.
