In March the week-long festival of letters, My White Best Friend and Other Letters Left Unsaid comes to The Bunker. How do you start the conversation with someone you love about how their beliefs, their unthinking actions, their politics undermine, hurt, erase you?

With performers including Inès de Clercq (Broadchurch, ITV; Jerusalem, Channel 4), Rosie Day (Watership Down, BBC; Outlander, STARZ), Tom Moutchi (Famalam, BBC; Twitstorm, Park Theatre) and Zainab Hasan (Tamburlaine, RSC; Shakespeare Trilogy, Donmar Warehouse) each evening promises to be fascinating and thought provoking because every night new letters will be given to performers to read for the first time onstage.

Rachel De-Lahay and director Milli Bhatia have commissioned eleven writers to pen these letters saying the unsaid to the people that matter most. These will be reflecting on intersections of identity, and explore lived experiences – of people of colour, people who identify as non-binary or LGBTQIA+, of people’s whose voices have been side-lined.

De-Lahay’s provocative act of letter writing engages with racial tensions, microaggressions and emotional labour, asking the privileged to step back to allow rest of the room to take up space.
