Besprekingen

Liefdesbrieven door A.R. Gurney

Een samenspraak, bestaande uit brieven die Andy en Melissa elkaar al vanaf hun jeugd sturen. Heel knap hoe je zonder tekst tussendoor met geloofwaardige brieven toch het hele verhaal kunt volgen. Ze trouwen allebei met een ander. Melissa scheidt enkele malen, Andy volgt een carrière in de advocatuur en de politiek en laat dit voorgaan voor een verhouding met Melissa. In de brieven uiten ze zich, iets waartoe ze als ze elkaar ontmoeten meestal niet echt in staat blijken te zijn.
