Hate Mail is an epistolary play something like Love Letters, with two actors reading letters and other correspondence, but it's a little wilder and more hysterically funny. It tells the story of Preston played by Bruce Eckel, a spoiled rich kid who meets his match in Dahlia played by Tricia Seeberg, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job, and then there's no turning back. The play stays with their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again.
The beauty of Reader's Theatre is there's no memorization! This script-in-hand production provides actors with the opportunity to explore the character and the words without the stress of memorization or moving onstage. But don't be fooled; this is a full-length production you'll get captured in just as easily as a the most elaborately-staged show on Broadway.
