Love Letters
A Theatrical Evening
on Friday 15th February, 7.00pm.
Just a day after St Valentine’s Day, very appropriately, there will be a performance of Love Letters, a play by A R Gurney.
The play has been performed in theatres, humble and noble, tens, if not hundreds, of times since Gurney first wrote it in 1988.
Liz Taylor once featured in a benefit one-night production of the play for an AIDS charity. The play involves just two characters,
who exchange letters over a span of 50 years. One correspondent is eager to write, the other more diffident and the result is a
correspondence that is pithy, exhilarating and funny, and well as wise, wistful and tinged with in-your-face reality, love and sadness.
Cast:
Andy: Lawrence McGwire
Melissa: Katharine Claringbull
Producers: Caroline di Miceli and Philippe Marchand
Music, sound and lighting: Philip Claringbull
Don’t miss this special play-reading production.
The venue will be the Espace Martin Luther King at 27 Boulevard Louis Blanc, in Montpellier. There will be a small charge of 5 euros to
support FOAL, but which will also entitle one to drinks and nibbles. Please send an email to kath1977@gmail.com to let us know if you plan
to attend so that we can organise quantities. This event is open to all. The doors will open at 6.30 pm. (There will be a short break of ~3 minutes
between the two parts, and the running time of the play is ~80 minutes).
