Love Letters

A lifelong love, trapped in paper and ink.

Like their characters, Anne Wil Blankers and Hans Croiset share a deep love for stories, for language, for a life that unfolds through words on paper. A love that never passes, that always brings them back to the place where they feel connected with each other and with the audience through stories. The stage.

A.R. Gurney's acclaimed classic tells the moving story of Melissa and Andrew, who have been friends since childhood. Their lives take different paths, but remain connected through a passionate correspondence that spans half a century.

Narrated by two theatre greats who have lived so many lives, both on and off stage. Their combined experience and chemistry bring an extra dimension to this story, which simultaneously paints a picture of the times, honours a great love, and celebrates life itself! What they dare not say, they write down. They entrust their life story to paper. In this world of lightning-fast contact, their letters form a time capsule of a shared life at a distance. Honest emotions, missed opportunities and a love that was never allowed to fully blossom.

Love Letters shows how words can burn with desire - an intimate story in which each letter heightens the tension and the promise of fulfilment always remains just out of reach.
