Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! If you’re still planning romantic festivities, block off time to bring your Valentine to see Love Letters by A.R. Gurney, performed by Andrew Botsford and Jane Baldwin at The Southampton Inn. The show, directed by Tom Edmonds, will run on Saturday, February 11th at 2 p.m. and has no admission charge!
The two-character play centers on a man and a woman who have corresponded through letters for fifty years. They begin writing to each other during childhood and progress through their romantic attachment, marriage to other individuals, and contrasting paths through life. The letters reveal their hopes, disappointments, and continual spiritual bond. It’s a true love story.
“Rosemary Cline and Andrew Botsford are fantastic in A.R.Gurney’s Love Letters,” remarked Edmonds. “They performed this play at the Southampton Historical Museum several years ago and, at the end, there were very few dry eyes. They are a favorite team at the Hamptons Theater in Quogue where they recently performed Gurney’s Black Tie.“
