Love Letters is a Pulitzer Prize for Drama nominated play by A. R. Gurney.
The play centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards - in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats - that have passed between them throughout their separated lives.

Principal characters:
The ages of the the actors I am looking for is approximate. If you feel you can "play" these ages - then come to auditions!
Age: (7 to 12) -Oliver Twist: the protagonist of the story. He is a lonely orphan boy born in the workhouse.
Age (45 to 65) -Fagin: a conniving career criminal, takes in homeless boys and teaches them to pick pockets for him. (The role of Fagin is precast)
Age (20 to 40) -Nancy: Bill Sikes's lover. She takes a liking to Oliver and treats him like her own child, but is eventually murdered for the steps she takes in behalf of him.
Age (45 to 65) -Mr. Brownlow: Oliver's grandfather, a kind man of wealth and breeding.
Age (20 to 50) -Bill Sikes: Nancy's brutal and abusive lover, a burglar and her eventual murderer.
Age (20 to 65) -Mr. Bumble: the pompous beadle of the workhouse in which Oliver was born.
Age (7 to 15) -The Artful Dodger: the cleverest of Fagin's pickpockets, he introduces Fagin to Oliver.
Age (35 to 65) -Mr. and Mrs. Sowerberry: the insensitive couple who take in Oliver and use him in their funeral business.
Age (45 to 65) -Mrs. Corney: the matron of the workhouse where Oliver was born, later marries Mr. Bumble.
Age (12 to 17) -Charlotte Sowerberry: the rude but also flirtatious daughter of the Sowerberrys.
Age (15 to 19) -Noah Claypole: The Sowerberrys' apprentice, he bullies Oliver about his mother and enjoys a flirty relationship with Charlotte.
Age (40 to 65) -Dr. Grimwig: foppish doctor and friend of Mr. Brownlow. He assesses Oliver's condition at the beginning of Act II, deeming him fit to go outside.
Age (15 to 25) -Bet: Nancy's friend [or younger sister, in some productions], one of Fagin's former pickpockets.
Age (7 to 15) -Charley Bates: one of Fagin's pickpockets. He is Dodger's sidekick.
