We are so excited to be bringing Letters Live to Berlin – in our first ever dual language event on the 26th June 2024!
Over the course of one evening, a top-secret cast will breathe life into history’s most remarkable letters, written over the centuries and from around the world, offering the audience a truly unique show, never to be repeated.
Our German debut at Berlin’s iconic Philharmonie is set to be an exhilarating evening of unforgettable readings with the show’s extraordinary blend of emotion, storytelling, and a touch of mystery.
Letters Live has consistently aligned itself with charitable causes. This upcoming event proudly continues this tradition, supporting the vital work of Children for Tomorrow.
Originating in London in 2013 inspired by Shaun Usher’s Letters of Note anthologies and Simon Garfield’s To the Letter, each Letters Live performance is unique, offering audiences a one-of-a-kind experience filled with unexpected moments. Although some names have been announced in advance, the remaining performers’ identities will remain a closely-guarded secret until the moment they take to the stage. Previous casts have included such luminaries as Benedict Cumberbatch, Carey Mulligan, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Jude Law, Anjelica Huston, Colin Firth, Gillian Anderson, Ian McKellen, Mary J. Blige, Oscar Isaac, Thandie Newton, Tom Hiddleston, Stephen Fry, Olivia Colman, Sir Ben Kingsley, Laurence Fishburne, JJ Abrams, Riz Ahmed, Juliet Stevenson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kylie Minogue, Danny Huston, Brie Larson, Ian McShane, and more.
Expect the unexpected, safe in the knowledge that Letters Live will make you appreciate the unassuming letter like never before.
