Love Letters

By A.R. Gurney
Starring PATRICK DUFFY (“Dallas” and “Step by Step”)
and LINDA PURL (“The Office” and “Happy Days”)

Experience one of the most beloved plays of the American theatre, performed by one of today’s most cherished real-life couples. Pulitzer Prize finalist A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters follows the extraordinary lifelong relationship between Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III through more than fifty years of letters, notes, and cards. Filled with wit, humor, longing, and unforgettable moments of joy and heartbreak, this deeply moving play reminds us that some of life’s greatest love stories are written one letter at a time.

Beloved television and stage stars Patrick Duffy (“Dallas”, “Step by Step”) and Linda Purl (“Happy Days”, “The Office”, Broadway and concert stages around the world) bring warmth, grace, and remarkable authenticity to this poignant reading. Their genuine affection and extraordinary chemistry illuminate every word, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience that is by turns hilarious, nostalgic, and profoundly touching.
