Tickets are on sale for Letters Live. It is "a series of curated, live events that celebrate the enduring power of literary correspondence." It'll be held at the Freemasons' Hall in London on March 10th - 15th. Spend the evening listening to a secret line-up of star performers read letters of all sorts. The list of readers is remarkable: Benedict Cumberbatch, Caitlin Moran, Dominic West, Emiliana Torrini, Geoffrey Palmer, Gillian Anderson, Hanif Kureishi, and Ian McKellen among others. If you're in London, don't miss it! If you aren't in London, they've kindly provided the videos of some letters from past shows. It's also nice that they have a page dedicated to the books that inspired the series.
There's a BBC radio review of the show here
