LOVE LETTERS by A. R. Gurney
Starring Patrick Duffy & Linda Purl
Patrick Duffy—stage and television actor best known for his starring roles on Dallas, Step by Step, and Man From Atlantis—joins real life partner Linda Purl, in A. R. Gurney’s award-winning and deeply moving play, in a story told entirely through letters exchanged over a lifetime. Love Letters explores connection, regret, intimacy and the words we use—and fail to use—to shape our lives. Performed by two seasoned actors, the play is especially powerful in its simplicity and emotional connection. Tender, witty and profoundly human, Love Letters is storytelling at its most intimate.
“Starring Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl, Love Letters was sublime…two seasoned actors, outstanding in their performances…incredibly special to witness two gifted actors—who also happen to be a real-life couple—perform this live. I laughed and I cried, and I was certainly not the only one.” — Suffolk News, UK
