What Critics Are Saying About Love Letters

Hollywood Reporter
Love Letters is that rare work whose emotional richness requires no embellishment in order to become a full-bodied theatrical experience.

Bergen Record
The passage of time – people going from youth to late middle age – is always poignant. And so is the notion of two individuals failing to recognize the true love they’re meant to share.

The Wall Street Journal
[Love Letters is] a tender study of thwarted love: Melissa is a scatty upper-class rebel, Andy is a stuffy upper-middle-class striver, and as they read a lifetime’s worth of letters out loud, you come to know them so well that their parallel sorrows seem as familiar as your own.
