Brief Synopsis:
Just before World War II, Angelica and Richard, a Navy sailor, meet and fall deeply in love. Years later, her granddaughter Angie, who longs for a good man herself, discovers the passionate letters Angelica received from Richard. Infused with humor and tragedy, the play deftly interweaves the wartime events with Angie’s response to their growing love through these letters. Then, as Richard says, “This war changes things,” and a strange twist of fate unexpectedly ripples through the lives of the wartime couple and the generations after them. Another World Premiere by a Dallas playwright!
