Dear Elizabeth

Remy Bumppo Theatre Company presents Dear Elizabeth by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Creative Producer Christina Casano. Running October 17-November 17, 2024.
In 1947, Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell’s first letters sparked a friendship that spanned 30 years, crossing continents and filling countless pages. Their correspondence, a blend of poetry and personal musings, became the anchor of their tumultuous lives. Despite rare meetings, their connection transcended the bounds of a traditional love story, evolving into a profound friendship.

Dear Elizabeth peeks into the private lives of two literary giants, revealing their vulnerabilities, insecurities, and the intimacy of their bond. Sarah Ruhl creates a poignant narrative by weaving the poets’ letters together, providing a window into their extraordinary connection, the enduring power of their words, and, ultimately, the transformative power of language and art.
