Intimate Play
A woman, a man, and their letters: That’s all it takes to tell this story of a great love. Susanne Buchenberger and Martin Wacker bring two characters to the stage who become more vivid with every letter.

An intimate play full of deep emotion—by A.R. Gurney
“A unique declaration of love for letter-writing!” (Elisa Walker, BNN, April 7, 2017)
In 2017, the BNN praised the production of Love Letters as a “real hit.” Now the play returns to the stage at SANDKORN in a revised new production.
A woman, a man, and their letters: that’s all it takes to tell this story of a great love. In *Love Letters*, the audience witnesses a lifelong correspondence—sketches of two lives, connected through letters in good times and bad—funny, tragic, witty, and fascinating.
She: chaotic, emotional, a child of divorce from a wealthy family. He: stiff, always composed, career-minded, from an intact, rather poor family. She—Susanne Buchenberger—and he—Martin Wacker—bring two authentic characters to the stage who gain more depth with every letter.
Susanne Buchenberger and Martin Wacker build on their past success with fresh touches, bringing the special magic of this production back to life.
“The protagonists’ style is unmistakable: […] This highly amusing back-and-forth provides just the right dose of humor. It’s astonishing that the entire 90 minutes take place exclusively at the two desks, and yet—precisely because of this—such an intimate and dynamic play unfolds.”
