About the Show
By Helene Hanff. Directed by Bill Morley. Helene Hanff in New York writes witty letters to a bookshop at 84 Charing Cross Road, London, enquiring about second hand books. Replies are sent by the stodgy and proper Frank Doel. Helene's idiosyncratic path through English literature broadens as she grows ever fonder of her friends in England. The action takes place between 1949-1971 in Helene's New York apartment, and in Marks & Co, Booksellers, 84 Charing Cross Road, London.
