Letters is a very special and original idea. A while
ago, the Gate Theatre did a very successful play called Dear Elizabeth,
which was all about the letters exchanged between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert
Lowell, who were both American poets. They wrote over four hundred letters to
one another over the course of several decades. The roles were played by
different pairs of actors at each performance and sometimes there were male
Elizabeths or female Roberts.
