Love Letters Straight From Your Heart is a new digital version of Uninvited Guests’ 2007, audience-written smash-hit which played at venues across the UK including Southbank Centre, RSC Stratford and the Edinburgh Fringe.

This revival comes from Fuel who are ‘visiting’ 15 venues throughout the UK and beyond.

‘Arriving’ at Contact later this month and performed live via Zoom to an audience of up to 90, Love Letters Straight From Your Heart is directed by Uninvited Guests co-founder Paul Clarke and is described as being “somewhere between a wedding reception and a radio dedication show”.

Before the performance, audience members are invited to send in music requests, dedications and declarations of love to those they care about past and present.

These words are incorporated into the performance; dedications are spoken, toasts are made, speeches are given, songs are sung and dances danced. Love Letters Straight From Your Heart is a joyful, open-hearted show that Fuel hope will help people feel connected at a time when many are isolated and missing their loved ones.
