Letters Live

If you didn't manage to bag a ticket to his sell-out 'Hamlet' last year, here's another chance to catch Benedict Cumberbatch in the flesh: the star lends his considerable weight to this series of evenings – inspired by Shaun Usher's 'Letters of Note' and Simon Garfield's 'To the Letter' – the celebrate the power of the letter. He'll be on stage every night of the run, alongside his 'Sherlock' co-star Louise Brealy and a selection of other big name guests including Caitlin Moran, Matt Berry, Meera Syal, Gillian Anderson, Dominic West, and Jude Law. Last year's diverse array of letters being read included Virginia Woolf's suicide note, Iggy Pop's letter to a young fan, and Gandhi's letter to Hitler - this year's line-up includes insights into the correspondence of Charlotte Bronte, Gandhi, and David Bowie.
