Love Letters

A. R. Gurney's play is about two lifelong friends, Andrew Makepeace and Melissa Gardner. Keir Dullea and Bonnie Franklin read side by side from the book. The play is satisfactory and easy to produce in actuality. The actors don't need to memorize their lines as the letters are right there. Keir and Bonnie are ideally suited to play the roles onstage. The production is somewhat stale as they sit at the table. The actors have to do all the work in making us feel for them and we do. Seacoast Repertory Theater in New Hampshire does excellent work. Although the play has been done to death by many other actors and actresses, I'm satisfied with this production.
