About the Show

A tragi-comic play about two lifelong friends starring Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove.

A pair stay in touch through a series of letters for a period of almost fifty years. Martin Shaw (The Professionals, The Chief) stars alongside Jenny Seagrove (How The Other Half Loves) in the delicate two-person drama. “Love Letters” was first staged in 1989 and has toured in theatres around the world since.
