Synopsis
A.R. Gurney's two-character play follows the relationship between a stuffy W.A.S.P. and a free-spirited woman, throughout their lives from childhood to death, as chronicled in the letters they write to each other. The play is very simply presented, generally with the two actors seated at a table, reading from the script, as if from letters.
