Charlotte Purser's compelling new theatrical production The War Letters, inspired by the real collection of over a thousand love letters exchanged between her grandparents during World War II, offers audiences a poignant and immersive experience that delves into the depths of love, memory and resilience.
Directed by Ana Margineanu (Pop-Up Theatrics) with performances by Charlotte Purser and Jens Rasmussen (American Dreams), The War Letters weaves together two profound narratives—first and foremost, the touching love story between Purser’s grandparents, offering a glimpse into a time when the handwritten letter was a lifeline that transcended distance and danger. And also the heart-wrenching journey of Purser’s grandmother as she grapples with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease. The play offers a sensitive portrayal of her experiences, immersing the audience in the fractured landscape of her memories where reality and illusion intermingle, blurring the lines between past and present. Presented by ThisThistle Media in association with Bechdel Project.
