When two strangers meet by letter during World War II, it sparks an unlikely correspondence that will change their lives forever.
Jack is a military doctor and US Army Captain stationed in Oregon, earnest and duty-bound. Louise is an aspiring actress and dancer in New York, brimming with sparkle and big-city dreams. What begins as one letter soon turns into hundreds.
Making its UK premiere, from two-time Olivier Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Crazy For You; Lend Me a Tenor), Dear Jack, Dear Louise is a warm, witty and deeply moving portrait of two people kept apart by war, finding love against the odds.
Inspired by the meeting of Ludwig’s own parents, this joyful and profoundly moving play reminds us that even in the darkest chapters of history, the heart still finds a way to write its own story.
