### What is *Love Letters* about?
[***Love Letters***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/love-letters-tickets) premiered in New York in 1989 and was a 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Drama finalist. The play became hugely popular and saw productions in theatres around the world, often attracting real-life and on-screen couples.
*Love Letters* is a tragi-comic story that is tender, circulating around the shared nostalgia of lifelong friends who missed out on opportunities in life. Their deep closeness making for a complicated relationship between them. It’s a play that could have almost been written for the Covid era, regarding two people that are physically apart but brought together by shared confidences and candid communications. It’s a romance that blossoms both across miles and years.
