DEAR ELIZABETH
Streaming October 3-10, 2020
By Sarah Ruhl
Dupree Theatre, Irving Arts Center
Based on the compiled letters between poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop. In Dear Elizabeth, Sarah Ruhl expresses the beauty in simple correspondence. Brought to life by reading Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, Ruhl maps the relationship of the two poets from first meeting to an abbreviated affair and the turmoil of their lives in between.
Directed by Michael Serrecchia
Starring Kristin McCollum and Rob McCollum
“Dear Elizabeth” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
"Ruhl’s play brings us into the lives of two real people, not imagined. Poetry is music in words. This creative team understands the importance of that lyricism."
