Love Letters on stage

Beginning with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards between two dorky third graders Melissa Gardiner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, Love Letters offers a memorable and unique theatrical experience.

Set in an era well before the advent of faxes, texts, emails and all forms of social media, it’s a celebration of language.

Words are read aloud, and fly off the pages, as they take us on their 50-year personal journey encompassing love, longing, estrangement and tenderness, revealing so much from what is written, and what is left unspoken.

For more than 30 years this delightful play for two performers has been continually performed world-wide by an impressive list of luminaries of stage and screen. Director Bette Sartore and experienced Cathouse members Di Addington and Frank Sartore will put their own spin on A.R. Gurney’s beloved work.

Love Letters is playing for a strictly limited season of four matinees only on October 18, 19, and 25, 26 at their warm and cosy pop-up theatre at the Kyneton Masonic Centre, 7 Yaldwyn Street West at 2pm sharp.
