Synopsis

In this play of letters, a young official in a college alumni office invites a celebrated but reclusive author to the thirty-fifth reunion of his class.

When he declines, she charmingly prods him, and thereby begins a witty and revelatory correspondence that becomes part mystery, part memory, and part romance.

Press Reviews

"Rich and revealing."

— The New Yorker

"You're in for a treat...a gem of a play."

— Chelsea Clinton News

"The words are witty and succinct, delightfully masking as much as they communicate, slowly revealing levels of character and elements of humor...Victor L. Cahn is clearly a gifted writer."

— Culture Vulture

"When a single word in a letter's closing can prove of devastating dramatic importance, the playwright has achieved his goal, and it is at things like this that Cahn succeeds time and time again...Cahn, Reilly, and the two Naughtons create beautiful music."

— Talkin' Broadway
