Playwright's Note
The letters are real… I thought, as I read Cheryl Strayed’s incredibly moving book,
Tiny Beautiful Things.
People wrote these letters.
A few years ago, author Cheryl Strayed gave advice as Sugar for the literary
website, The Rumpus, and later collected the letters into a book. Journalist
Marshall Heyman gave his friend, director Thomas Kail, the book and Tommy
gave it to me suggesting it could become a play. As I read the letters exchanged, I
wept, smiled, and was astonished by the raw and extraordinary candor.
