R2R – LOVE LETTERS STRAIGHT FROM YOUR HEART

Theatre |
19th September 2014

Eight years after its first performance, Love Letters Straight From Your Heart feels as fresh as it did in 2006, and continues to move audiences up and down the country.

Let's raise our glasses to long lost loves and current lovers, to mums, to dads and to absent friends.

Uninvited Guests stage an event that is somewhere between a wedding reception, a wake and a radio dedication show. We speak of our own and other's loves – deep, passionate, ambivalent and unrequited – and dedicate songs to them.

If you want to join us on this happy occasion, send a dedication to someone you love to info@uninvited-guests.net. Your letters of love may become part of the show, romantic gestures or signs of friendship, shared publicly between us. Be our witnesses and we'll be yours. Click here to down load a PDF of the form.

“It is a marvellous piece of theatre that blowtorches away Britishness and forces you to feel.” Time Out

“You can't help but fall in love with it.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian *****

“Initially, you feel voyeuristic as loves and heartbreaks are revealed; after a while you simply feel part of a huge community as lives, hopes, dreams and sadnesses are offered up in a way that is blisteringly honest and unvarnished, but also entirely safe because of the anonymity.” The Guardian *****

WUTHERING HEIGHTS: 'Featuring overly high drama, romantic violence, a touch of Yorkshire bleakness and a few alternative endings, Peter McMaster’s award-winning, all-male performance revisits and re-imagines the landscapes and characters of Emily Bronte’s seminal text.

THE ICY MAN: A story about the cold. On a winter’s night, a woman goes out walking in the snow and encounters a stranger in a frozen field. The next morning, she wakes up and finds that everything has changed…

BEATING MCENROE: 1980. Wimbledon. Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe face each other across the net: the self-controlled champion and the impassioned upstart. An epic rivalry comes to a head.  A six-year old boy watches and learns. 

MY HEART IS HITCHHIKING DOWN PEACHTREE STREET: A one-man show about living far away from home. It’s about the stories you tell people when they ask you where you’re from. It’s about learning that once you leave, you can’t go back.

WHEN WE EMBRACED: A show about embracing things you’ve not embraced before, or at least haven’t admitted to out loud. Maybe now is the time to do it.

THE WATERY JOURNEY OF NEREUS PIKE: This is a new, extraordinary tale of myth, magic, adventure and angler fish! Expect sea creatures, animations, glowsticks, an epic tale of love and adventure, and a nautical jumper.
