News: Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove return to Love Letters at the Theatre Royal Haymarket

Bill Kenwright’s critically-acclaimed production of A. R. Gurney’s heart-warming play Love Letters is set to return to the West End for a strictly limited, socially distanced run.

Starring Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove, who both return to the production in their first reunion since Judge John Deed, Love Letters will play 32 performances at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 19 May.

Love Letters is directed by Roy Marsden, and stars Shaw and Seagrove. An uplifting tale of long-distance love and enduring friendship, this production was critically lauded and received four stars across the board. A tragi-comic story of shared nostalgia, missed opportunities and complicated friends, it presents as a play that could even have been written for the Covid era.

It first opened in New York in 1989, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
