‘Hate Mail’ is the anti-thesis of ‘Love Letters,’ a very popular piece that features the reading of letters and notes exchanged over 50 years between a couple exploring friendship, love, and loss. ‘Hate Mail’ was written in response to the piece. Star-crossed lovers, Preston and Dahlia, begin their exchange of letters and notes in a more antagonistic setting. Still their journey takes them through friendship, love, and loss. Their road is just a bit more treacherous than most.
The play features the very funny Pony Charvet and Susannah Wells as the love-torn duo whose fast-paced and sardonic story is at the heart (so to speak) of the show. Pianist Michael Robinson provides the musical backdrop for the show, a feature unique to this particular production.
“We wanted to continue Fringe Theater’s tradition of taking audiences to unexpected venues, so we chose Little Room Jazz Club, which is a great place for great music,” explains Rebecca Tomlinson, the plays director and the new Artistic Managing Director of Fringe. “So adding music to the play seemed a logical extension of presenting a show in a jazz club.”
Please Note: The show begins at 7pm (not at 8pm). Little Room Jazz Club's music will begin at 9pm.
