A Contemporary Theatre, in association with Letters Aloud, presents All Our Best, live on June 4. This timely collection of letters unveils private moments from history. These moving and sometimes humorous stories resonate with a message of perseverance and hope in times of struggle, from history-makers and people who live right next door.
These are challenging times and we have chosen to produce All Our Best with hope that the voices shared throughout the performance will inspire you and spark conversations in your own community.
Run time: approximately one hour
Location: The comfort of your home!
