It is a live celebration of the lasting power of letter writing!
Letters Live, which started in December 2013, was held at the Freemasons' Hall in London
from March 10 to 15. The show invited various great performers who read remarkable letters that had been written around the world over the centuries.
“Bringing
letters

and Jamie told
performances is one of the most powerful ways in which the joy pain and humor and tragedy of being human can be shared，” Byng, managing director of Canongate Books publishing firm, the Nowness video channel.

This year, the movie Sherlock star treated the audience by playing the part of a 17-year Tom Hanks. He put on the young actor's voice when he read his letter to the Hollywood director George Roy Hill, a letter that urged Hill to “discover” him. The letter revealed that two-time Oscar winner Hanks' teenage dream was not to “be a big-time Hollywood superstar” but to one day own a Porsche car and call his favorite US actor Robert Redford his nickname “Bob”．
Other famous faces at the event included Carey Mulligan, who played a fictional laundry worker, a female activist fighting for women's rights in the 2015 movie Suffragette. The British actress once again played the role of a suffragette, when she read a very enthusiastic letter demanding the vote for women. The suffragette sent a precious 1913 note to The Daily Telegraph newspaper.
“Everyone seems to agree upon the necessity of putting a stop to Suffragist anger, but no one seems certain how to do so，” Mulligan read out. “There are two, and only two, ways in which this can be done. Both will be effectual. One, kill every woman in the UK. Two, give women the vote.”
