Shakespeare & Company presents the Tony Awardwinning playwright Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise – the story of two strangers introduced by letters, kept apart by war, and drawn together through shared stories of their lives, hopes, and fears.

Inspired by the World War II courtship of Ludwig’s parents, Dear Jack, Dear Louise offers a comedic and touching look at life in 1942, complete with nods to music, theater, and literature as it thoughtfully examines two different views of one, world-shifting era.

This production has been generously sponsored by the Friedman family, in honor of Roberta Friedman.
