Uninvited Guests, Fuel and Alphabetti, Newcastle Presents...

Love Letters Straight From Your Heart

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

A few weeks ago, we had an idea: could we bring Love Letters online? We set up our computers, gathered your song dedications and had a night at the theatre on Zoom.

It’s a joyful, open-hearted show – an antidote to isolation. Join us online and we’ll raise our glasses to long lost loves and current lovers, to mums and dads, and to absent friends.

Every show is different, so we need your song dedications.

Choose a song for someone you care about, tell us what that person means to you and why you’ve chosen this piece of music.

Your letters of love may become part of the show, romantic gestures or signs of friendship, shared publicly between us. We will e-mail you the form when you register.

Uninvited Guests and Fuel are committed to presenting this show free of admission. Fuel is a charity which has supported theatre makers to create and tour live performance for audiences all across the UK and internationally for 16 years. Fuel employed 323 theatre makers last year alone but Fuel’s income for this year is now projected to be 74% less than last year. We need your help to continue to support theatre makers and to reach audiences. Any donation you can give is appreciated.

Uninvited Guests

Uninvited Guests are Paul Clarke, Richard Dufty and Jessica Hoffmann.

Formed in Bristol in 1998, the company’s work has toured nationally and internationally. They create entertaining and provocative performance that combines high-tech with low tech, the visceral with the virtual.

Uninvited Guests work in various contexts, focusing mainly on theatre but also producing installation and audio walks. Their recent work has blurred the line between theatre and social festivities, with audiences joining us in events that are celebratory and critical of these times.
