Synopsis
PEN PALS is an epistolary play that tells the story of the extraordinary friendship between two ordinary women. Bernie, from Newark, New Jersey, starts writing to Mags, who lives in Sheffield, England, when she’s 14-years-old and their correspondence continues for the next five decades.
The play is essentially an extended flashback where the women read the letters they sent to each other over the past 50 years. Without the aid of costumes, make-up, or wigs, the actors age before the audience’s eyes as they tell the stories of their lives.
