A.R. GURNEY’S LOVE LETTERS | ONE NIGHT ONLY
the in-person performance sold out. the show was also live streamed.
This Valentine’s Day, Quintessence Theatre is celebrating love in all of its messy glory with a performance starring award-winning television, film and stage actor David Morse and his wife, Susan Wheeler. The couple is performing A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters, for a one-night only benefit in support of The Campaign for Quintessence at the Sedgwick.
Love Letters is a tender romantic comedy, where two childhood friends share a series of love letters over 50 years of life, only realizing in the end the relationship they shared. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it was written and structured for actors to arrive at the theater without memorizing lines in advance and spontaneously become ‘Melissa Gardner’ and ‘Andrew Makepeace Ladd III’ - a couple who have known and loved each other for nearly all their lives, married other people, but share their friendship, challenges, wins, and losses through that most precious form of lost communication - words on paper.
“Quintessence Theatre is an important part of the community and the Philadelphia theatre scene. We’re happy to support them as they take their next big step as a vital regional theater," said David and Susan. The couple also make their home in Northwest Philadelphia.
Tickets available as livestream only, for one night, and your email confirmation will include information on how to access the link. Performance begins at 8PM.
