'Love Letters' opens S.C. Repertory season "Love Letters," A.R. Gurney's petite dramatic masterpiece, opens the South Carolina Repertory Company's fall season. Directed by the masterful hand of John Jakes, Pat Haskell and Douglas Milsom play the star-crossed lovers, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Ladd. Through the fairly simple process of reading notes and letters, Gurney takes his audience into and through the lives of his two characters, from kindergarten to age 55... Haskell gives an astonishing portrayal of Melissa Gardner. In the first half of the play, her face has a youthful radiance that should be bottled. As the years advance, so does her countenance, reflecting the fatigue and world-weary attitude of her character. Haskell knows her lines well, delivering them with precise definition and delicate inflection... Regrettably, "Love Letters" has only a short run. It can be seen tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m. and at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Performances are at the theater at 136 Beach City Road. For reservations and ticket information, call 681-5194. |
