About the show:
This wonderful show is a dramatization of business letters between a young struggling writer in New York and an antiquarian book store in London. In a sense, these are also love letters. They are about the love of good literature. The play takes place over a twenty year period, beginning in 1949 when Helene Hanff first writes Marks & Co. and ends up corresponding with Frank Doel, the delightfully dusty supplier of many old volumes to Helen. She in turn shows her gratitude through the years by sending “care packages” to the staff of Marks & Co.
Come see Harriet Owen-Nixon play Helene Hanff and Rick Wallace play Frank Doel.
This play runs just over an hour long including one intermission.
