2 of 2 - Benedict Cumberbatch and Louise Brealey read Chris and Besse at Letters Live, Hay Festival

Part of the ’Letters Live’ event at the Hay Festival 2014. Recorded in the Tata Tent on 31st May 2014. Benedict Cumberbatch and Louise Brealey read letters between WWII lovers Chris and Besse. This letter is taken from the book ’To the Letter’ by Simon Garfield This was the second of two pairs of letters they read. In these letters Chris and Besse have met up for the first time, obviously had a ’good time’ (as Benedict’s reaction indicates at the start!!)and they begin to make future plans together.
