  • Love Letters is a play by A. R. Gurney that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. The play is a performance favorite for busy name actors, for it requires little preparation, and lines need not be memorized. It was first performed by the playwright himself with Holland Taylor at the New York Public Library, then opened in 1988 at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut, with Joanna Gleason and John Rubinstein.

  • Love Letters est une pièce de A. R. Gurney, finaliste du prix Pulitzer de théâtre. La pièce est centrée sur deux personnages, Melissa Gardner et Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Utilisant la forme épistolaire que l’on retrouve parfois dans les romans, ils s'assoient côte à côte à des tables et lisent les notes, lettres et cartes dans lesquelles, pendant près de 50 ans, ils discutent de leurs espoirs et ambitions, rêves et déceptions, victoires et défaites qui se sont passés entre eux tout au long de leur vie séparée. La pièce est une performance préférée pour les acteurs reconnus et fort occupé, car elle nécessite peu de préparation et le texte n'a pas besoin d'être mémorisé. Elle est d'abord exécutée par le dramaturge lui-même avec Holland Taylor à la New York Public Library puis en 1988 au à New Haven, au Connecticut, avec Joanna Gleason et John Rubinstein. (fr)

Nel 1990 Lettere d'amore è stato candidato al Premio Pulitzer per la drammaturgia. (it)
  • 『ラヴ・レターズ』(原題:Love Letters)は、アメリカ合衆国の劇作家が制作した朗読劇の戯曲。幼なじみの男女が1930年代から1980年代にかけ半世紀にわたって交わす往復書簡により綴られる恋物語で、互いを意識しつつも別々の道へ進んだ2人がやがて再会し激しく惹かれ合うさまを描く。1990年ピューリッツァー賞戯曲部門最終候補作。 初演は、1988年コネチカット州ニューヘイブンのロング・ウォーフ・シアター。並んで座った2人の男女が、手にした台本を読み上げるだけのシンプルな舞台構成であるが、1989年にブロードウェイ、エディソン・シアターに登場するや注目を浴びた。以後、イギリス、フランス、オーストラリア、デンマーク、オランダ、アルゼンチン、ドイツ、日本など世界各地で上演されている。 (ja)
