Love Letters Made Easy

by Jeanne Beckwith

A chorus of three men and three women lead us through a series of thirteen scenes that contrast today’s methods of communicating true love, with accepted etiquette of the past. Characters range from an abductee to a restroom artist; a spurned college professor to an elderly woman with a secret past.

Love Letters Made Easy

Recommended by

  • Larry Rinkel: Love Letters Made Easy by Jeanne Beckwith
    “

    Updated and freely adapted from "Love Letters Made Easy" by Gabrielle Rosiere (1919, public domain), this charming play consists of thirteen brief vignettes separated by spoken choral interludes, almost like a set of 5-10 minute plays loosely organized around the theme of love letters. Despite the often gentle tone, there is more bite here than may meet the eye. The cast requires a minimum of six actors but may be played by many more (as in a production I saw on Feb. 9, 2019, off-off-Broadway in New York City).
