Letters Live

0 upcoming performances in New York

Letters Live is a staged reading built from real correspondence, performed by actors who deliver letters as spoken narrative rather than dramatized scenes. At Town Hall, the format turns private writing into public testimony, moving between wit, complaint, affection, and argument without the scaffolding of plot. The series has circulated internationally since its 2013 launch in the U.K.; New York presentations place it in a city with a long tradition of literary performance and civic debate. Its quiet critical point is that the letter, in an age of constant messaging, still carries consequence.
