Juliet O’Brien / France

A young exile engages the services of a professional ‘Letter Writer’ to write love letters to the wife he has left behind, and to assist him in an application for political asylum. Fascinated by the energy and idealism of the young exile, the Letter Writer finds both a new lease of life and the son he never had. But the arrival of a letter soon shatters everything.

Both a suspense story and a transcendent love story, The Letter Writer affirms the power of the human spirit and the longevity of love. Blending themes of exile with ideas about the power of language, it explores the lies we tell to avoid facing reality.

New Zealander Juliet O’Brien has been working as a director in France for the past 10 years. Following the play’s success in France, she returns to New Zealand for Festival 2010 with a production featuring French and New Zealand artists.

Circa friends may buy two seats at The Friends’ rate for
performances of The Letter Writer and Mary Stuart.
