Finding Forests and Richard Jordan Productions in association with PleasanceProfessional company

60 minutesBunker Three
What if La La Land chose love over ambition? What if The Notebook kept going 50 years later? When a granddaughter uncovers a box of forgotten love letters, she finds herself slipping between a 1956 Brooklyn summer alive with possibility and a present-day American diner steeped in nostalgia. Inspired by hundreds of real letters, Letters to Joan is an intimate new play to capture every Fringe-goer's heart, about the dreams we chase, the ones we abandon, and the unshakeable longing for the life that might have been.
