A heartfelt story of love, loss and growth, award-winning company Do Theatre presents Love Letters at the Festival Hub: Trades Hall – Old Council Chambers, as part of the 2023 Melbourne Fringe Festival: 11 – 22 October.
Adapted from Shan Cheng Ju’s work, Shou Xin Kuai Le (You’ve got mail!), Love Letters portrays the emotional journey and complexities of immigrants and cultural clashes, from a multicultural perspective.
A man and a woman have known each other since childhood. Through decades of correspondence, they shared their life with each other: youth, career, love, marriage, and death.
As children, they despised each other, yet they kept in touch. As adults, they pursued their own paths but remained tightly connected through letters.
As time went by, they came to realise that within each other’s hearts, they had already become an inseparable entity.
