Letters Live returned to the iconic Union Chapel in Islington, a London borough, for three consecutive nights, March 7th, 8th and 9th, 2019 and we had a heads up that Damian and Helen were spotted.
Helen read Silvia Townsend Warner’s thank you letter for the gift of a matchbox, and reports are saying it was one of the highlights of the evening.
Letters Live is a celebration of the enduring power of literary correspondence. Over the course of these three unique evenings, a diverse array of world-class performers from the stage, screen, music, art and literary worlds take to the pulpit and breath life into correspondence from all walks of life, taking the audience on an emotional and unforgettable journey through time.
