As past LETTERS LIVE performer Nick Cave writes, "LETTERS LIVE is so full of fun and mischief – and matters serious. The audience simply have no idea what they are going to get, except for the fact that the letters are always illuminating and the people who read them, a strange and eccentric bunch! Everybody seems to be there for a common cause; to celebrate the act of communication through the power of the written word. Completely awesome!"
Past LETTERS LIVE shows have included performances by an array of talent including Benedict Cumberbatch, Gillian Anderson, Ian McKellen, Kylie Minogue, Russell Brand, Thandie Newton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rose McGowan, Riz Ahmed and more.
