On February 26th, Letters Live made its US premiere in Los Angeles with an unforgettable show that featured readings and musical performances from Aisha Tyler, Anjelica Huston, Annabelle Wallis, Benjamin Booker, Benjamin Clementine, Catherine Keener, Danny Huston, Ian McShane, Isla Fisher, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Corden, Jarvis Cocker, Mark Hamill, Reggie Watts, Shirley Manson, and Stephen Fry.
All profits from tickets sales were split and donated to Los Angeles-based non-profit organization 826LA – dedicated to supporting students with creative and expository writing skills – and Women for Women International, a non-profit humanitarian organisation providing practical and moral support to female survivors of war.
The show was organised in partnership with Mr Porter and Net-A-Porter.
