Dear All,
It’s fast approaching March 10th, at which point Letters Live will be returning to London’s magnificent Freemasons Hall for another week of unique shows–including, for the first time, a family-friendly matinee on Saturday 12th March–featuring an ever-changing cast to surprise and delight, and an even stronger selection of letters than ever before. Head over to Ticketmaster for ticket info.
I just thought I’d quickly keep you up-to-date with the incredible cast of readers we have lined up. So, the following people (and others!) will either be reading letters or playing music at some point during the run:
Benedict Cumberbatch, Bob Geldof, Caitlin Moran, David Nicholls, Dominic West, Ellie Bamber, Emiliana Torrini, Geoffrey Palmer, Gillian Anderson, Hanif Kureishi, Sir Ian McKellen, James Rhodes, Jarvis Cocker, Jimmy Carr, John Bishop, Jude Law, Julia Donaldson, Juliet Stevenson, Lemn Sissay, Lindsey Russell, Louise Brealey, Mariella Frostrup, Matt Berry, Meera Syal, Maureen Lipmann, Nitin Sawhney, Olivia Colman, Omid Djalili, Peter Capaldi, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Riz Ahmed, Russell Brand, Samantha Bond, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Shami Shakrabarti, Shappi Khorsandi, Toby Jones and Tom Odell.
I can also reveal that the cast of readers for the family-friendly matinee will be Sir Ian McKellen, Russell Brand, Blue Peter’s Lindsey Russell, Julia Donaldson, Ellie Bamber, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Samantha Bond.
So exciting. As mentioned, head over to Ticketmaster for ticket info and see the Letters Live website for details of the literacy charities these shows continue to support and footage of readings from 2015’s Freemasons’ run.
Finally, don’t forget to grab copies of Letters of Note and More Letters of Note if you want to read just some of the letters that will be brought to life next month.
See you there!
Shaun
