LOVE LETTERS
by A.R. GURNEY
JANUARY 9-10, 16-18, 22-24 | 2009
MAIN STAGE | This unique and imaginative theatre piece is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, they create an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing as what is actually written down.
A different pair of JacksonÂville’s finest actors performed on each of the three weekends.
Directed by DEL AUSTIN
with
WEEKEND 1 | JOHN BAILLIE as Andrew and CARSON MERRY BAILLIE as Melissa
WEEKEND 2 | BILL RATLIFF as Andrew and HAROLYN SHARPE as Melissa
WEEKEND 3 | JOHN POPE as Andrew and SUSAN POPE as Melissa
REVIEWS
Experienced director Del Austin captured the story’s humor and bittersweet emotion.
- TAMARA McCLARAN, Shorelines | READ FULL REVIEW…Mr. Baille brought a quiet and understated presence to the role of Andy… Mrs. Baillie’s years of award winning direction shows up in her performance of Melissa with excellent timing, vocal variety and gestures, as she moves from carefree banter, to angry out-pouring and eventually to despair.
