Directed by James C. Davis

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III writes his first letter to Melissa Gardner to tell her she looks like a lost princess. They are both seven years old. For the next fifty years, through personal triumphs and despair, through wars and marriages and children and careers, they pour out the secrets of their hearts to each other. They defy a fate that schemes to keep them apart, and lives – through letters – for the one most meaningful thing, their undying love for each other.

A unique and imaginative theatre piece comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together and went their separate ways, but continue to share confidences. A wry and poignant tale told entirely through the first scrawled valentines of childhood to the last goodbyes. Over the course of a 50-year correspondance, Andres and Melissa reveal themselves, their hopes and ambitions, their dreams and disappointments, in a “love affair” that takes them from grade school to middle age.
