In the roles we see Krister Henriksson and Ulla Skoog – two of the absolute giants of Swedish theatre. “Love Letters” by AR Gurney is a moving work about human contact, intimacy and the passage of time through the exchange of love letters between two people. At the center are two characters; Andrew and Melissa, whose relationship develops through letters they write to each other.
The scene is stripped down with just the two actors sitting next to each other, reading aloud from the letters they have written from childhood right up until the definitive end. Soulfully side by side – almost an entire lifetime.
