"Love Letters", a Pulitzer Prize nominated play for Drama by A. R. Gurney, will be presented by Will Hutchins and Roberta Shore. For those of you unfamiliar with the outstanding 90 minute play, it centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards--in which over nearly 50 years they discuss their loves, hopes, ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats--that have passed between them throughout their often separated lives. It was first performed in 1988 at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT. It soon went to Broadway. Over the years it has been presented thousands of times all over the world by name actors such as Charlton Heston, Carol Burnett, Robert Wagner, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Harris, William Hurt, George Segal, Jason Robards, Polly Bergen, Robert Vaughn, Timothy Hutton, Cliff Robertson and many more. Both Will and Roberta have performed the play separately, but never together, so "A Gathering of Guns" attendees are in for a very special presentation of this beautiful play.
