The Story:

This charming show is a dramatization of business letters between a young, struggling writer in New York and an antiquarian book store in London. In a sense, these are also love letters. They are about the love of good literature. The play takes place over a twenty-two year period, beginning in 1949 when Helene Hanff first writes Marks & Co. and ends in 1971 with the death of Frank Doel, the delightfully dusty supplier of so many old volumes to Helen who has shown her gratitude through the years by sending "care packages" to the staff of Marks & Co.
