A Meditation on Loneliness
Hold on? Or leave it behind? Two isolated humans unravel and examine the thing they love the most. With fierce humor, aching poetry, and piercing honesty, theatrical powerhouse Ngozi Anyanwu asks “How does love transform us—and the world—both in its presence and absence?” Offering a plea and a painful goodbye wrapped into one, The Last of the Love Letters gets to the heart of what it is to love and be loved.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The ever-innovative Crowded Fire Theater starts the new year with multi-award-winning Ngozi Anyanwu’s 75-minute two-hander, described as haunting and as “a plea and a goodbye wrapped into one.” It’s poetic, humorous and deeply honest, says Crowded Fire. In its New York premiere, the New York Times called it “a comic diatribe,” and inescapably passionate. Directed here by Nailah Unole Dida-Nese'ah Harper-Malveaux.
