About
Letters Live is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the power of letters—bringing to life the intimacy, passion, humour, and raw emotion found in the written word. Each event features a surprise cast of remarkable performers, from Oscar-winning actors and beloved comedians to bestselling writers and iconic musicians, breathing new life into extraordinary correspondence.
For over a decade, Letters Live has captivated audiences in sold-out shows across London, Edinburgh, New York, and beyond. Every performance has supported carefully chosen charity partners, promoting literacy and championing the power of human connection.
As well as celebrating the pain, joy, wisdom and humour expressed in letters, Letters Live has from the outset been committed to promoting literacy and fundraising for charities, and each show raises vital funds for a selected charity partner – past charities have included the National Literacy Trust, Choose Love and the RNLI.
