The joy and the pain, the wisdom and the humour preserved by the humble letter - expertly brought to life by some of the most acclaimed performers from around the world. Letters Live has been moving audiences to both laughter and tears since 2013, in a live celebration of the enduring power of written correspondence. It is a performance phenomenon, making its International Festival debut following sell-out runs in London, and inspired by Shaun Usher's best-selling Letters of Note, and by Simon Garfield's To the Letter. Each show features a range of performers, giving live readings of letters from across the centuries and all around the globe, all in front of a live audience. Who'll be performing and what letter they'll be bringing alive remain closely guarded secrets until the curtain goes up. Letters Live is set to return for a one-off show in support of RSPCA, celebrating their 200th anniversary. Known for its engaging performances of remarkable letters from around the world and across history, Letters Live will join forces with the RSPCA to create an unforgettable evening of storytelling, showcasing the power of the written word and humanity's bond with the natural world.
