Just in time for the holiday season, Blue Bridge will revive its popular Christmas romantic comedy that hilariously chronicles the misunderstandings and delusions of two employees at a leathergoods shop in Budapest. By day they can barely stand each other. What they don’t realize is that they are falling in love with their idealized versions of each other through anonymous letters they have been sharing for several weeks.

Made famous in North America by the 1940’s film of the same name directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Jimmie Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, and more recently in the remake titled You’ve Got Mail starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, this 1937 play is full of delight as it reminds us of the power of love and the Christmas season to heal all that appears to separate us.

Stay tuned for updates on our planned online Christmas Bazaar featuring items that will make the perfect gift this holiday season
