Elizabeth and Robert are the very dearest of friends, yet only meet a handful of times in real life. Their deep relationship, built on correspondence of the pre-digital kind, unfolds with heart and wit in this powerful and often hilarious work for the stage.Using the actual words written by acclaimed poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, Dear Elizabeth spans three decades and two continents, from Boston to Brazil to Nova Scotia. These long-distance kindred spirits provide each other with their own best audience, and sustain each other through heartaches and struggles. Dear Elizabeth celebrates the creative power of language in the hands of these gifted poets, and whisks us back to an era when receiving a letter from a distant friend was a moment of magic! Featuring Robin Guy as Elizabeth Bishop and Scott Richardson as Robert 'Cal' Lowell
