💌 LETTERS YOU'LL NEVER SEND – THE SHOW 💌

Have you ever wished you'd said something to someone?

A thank you.
An apology.
A goodbye.
Something you've carried for years.

🎭 Letters You'll Never Send is a moving, funny and deeply human theatre experience built entirely from anonymous letters written by ordinary people.

Performed by six professional actors with live music throughout, audiences will hear real letters that have never been spoken aloud before—letters to lost loved ones, former partners, parents, children, friends, themselves, and even to hope, fear and the future.

Every performance is unique, with local anonymous submissions potentially becoming part of the show.

📅 Friday 17 July
📍 Brasshouse Community Centre, Smethwick, B66 1BA
🚪 Doors Open: 7:00pm
🎭 Show Starts: 7:30pm
⏰ Running time: Approximately 60 minutes (no interval)
👥 Suitable for ages 14+
🎟️ Tickets: £7.50 (includes a drink and nibbles on arrival)
