A story about love and time

Love Letters is based on a text by American playwright A. R. Gurney and premiered in early 2023. Since then, it has enjoyed great success with numerous performances throughout Croatia, and it is now joyfully coming to the audience in Bale.

This intimate melodrama follows the life story of Melissa and Andrew, childhood friends who maintain their relationship exclusively through letters for nearly 50 years. Through them, they share hopes, wishes, dreams, victories, and defeats, as their lives take different paths.

The play raises questions about love, time, and identity: is it too late for them after all these years? Are the people from the letters the same as those in real life?
