Love letters, and two other plays, The golden age and What I did last summer

Love Letters traces the lifelong correspondence of the staid, dutiful lawyer Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and the lively, unstable artist Melissa Gardner. The story of their bittersweet relationship gradually unfolds from what is written--and what is left unsaid--in their letters. Two other thematically related plays by Gurney, The Golden Age and What I Did Last Summer, are also included.
