Love letters and hate mail at The Playhouse!

EVER sent a dead lizard through the mail?

Meet Preston and Dahlia, two people who become adversaries, friends, lovers, and then back to enemies, without ever meeting face to face.

'Hate Mail' by Bill Corbett and Kira Obolnesky, the story of spoiled rich kid Preston and angst-filled artist Dahlia, is coming to The Playhouse Theatre on July 2 and 3.

Preston and Dahlia's 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.

Following on from the success of her recent play 'The Sad Silence of Snow', 'Hate Mail' is directed by local playwright and director of 25 years Anne McMaster under her new company, Farm Girl Productions.

'Hate Mail' is described by the authors as 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.

"And that couldn't be more true" founder of The Playhouse, Pauline Ross said.

"This charming and witty play, starring local actors Shaun Coyle and Louise Connaghan, provides a profoundly clever look into the heart of human communication. Book early to avoid disappointment."
