'Love Letters' comes to Byron Community Centre starring Bridie Carter and Aaron jeffery

Ripe Theatre brings A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” to the Byron Bay Community Centre this Halloween weekend. Local Byron actress, Bridie Carter and former co star Aaron Jeffery, both of ‘McLeods Daughters’ fame, are to perform this Pulitzer Prize-nominated play on The BBCC stage. WHAT: “What happens when two very different people who only have the written word to keep their hearts beating?” “Love Letters” by A R Gurney, is a play comprised of the letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people, the bittersweet relationship of Melissa Gardner, a free-spirited artist and Andrew Makepeace III, a dutiful lawyer/politician – who grew up together but went their separate ways. We go on the journey of each character’s ambitions, disappointments, victories and heartbreak, as shared in the letters being recited on stage. The letters describe the events that have passed between Melissa and Andrew during their separate lives. It is a deeply moving story about a boy and girl who meet and become forever linked in mind, heart and spirit. While life conspires to keep them apart, love inspired their journey 'together.'
