84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
Spring 2010

Based on the book by Helene Hanff, this at times amusing but deeply moving play portrays a trans-Atlantic relationship spanning two decades after the Second World War. A burgeoning New York writer with a quirky sense of humour sends an enquiry to a London bookshop, sparking a growing affection for its staff, partcularly the shop's manager, Frank Doel. The two appear to have little in common in their lives - exceot a rich love and knowledge of books. The play was a box office hit in New York and London during the 1970s and 80s. It is both funny and poignant.
