Join us for an exclusive Letters Live event with Benedict Cumberbatch – streamed live from London to cinemas nationwide for one night only! The live event will be followed by a special preview screening of the upcoming film, The Thing With Feathers.

Letters Live is the acclaimed live phenomenon that celebrates the power of words to move, connect, and heal. Beloved by audiences around the world, the show brings together a surprise cast of exceptional performers to read remarkable letters from across history – letters that make us laugh, cry, and see the world anew. Led by Benedict Cumberbatch and a hand-picked line-up of guest readers, this special edition will explore letters that confront loss but also celebrate love, laughter, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Oscar® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch then stars in The Thing with Feathers, adapted from the award-winning debut novel by Max Porter. Following the death of his wife, a young father’s hold on reality crumbles, and a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons. A man-like crow, voiced by David Thewlis, is seemingly brought to life from the father’s work as an illustrator and is about to become a very real part of all of their lives, ultimately guiding them towards the new shape their family must take. A lyrical exploration of love, loss and the strange ways we heal.

The Thing With Feathers will be in cinemas from 21 November, so this is your chance to be one of the first people to see it!
