Men of Letters

Overview

Unfortunately, the art of letter writing is nearly extinct. Can you remember the last time you sat down and wrote a thoughtful and carefully constructed letter to a friend expressing your innermost feelings in beautiful prose? No, neither can I. In this day and age it's much easier to text, email, call, instant message, post on someone's wall, Skype and the list goes on. After last years success, The Zoo is once again hosting the event, Men of Letters, to celebrate the charming art-form of letter writing.

This Sunday Michaela McGuire and Marieke Hardy, co-curators of the event, will bring together a mixed bag of gentlemen all of whom were asked to pen a letter to 'The Woman Who Changed My Life'. Speakers include actor Lucas Stibbard, host of ABC Conversations Richard Fidler, manager of Regurgitator Paul Curtis and author John Birmingham, amongst many others.

Be sure to make a booking for this special event. As well as listening to the humorous, heart-warming and inspiring letters, attendees are also invited to stay for a glass of wine and to create their only short notes. The cherry on the top of this delightful afternoon – all funds raised go to non-profit organisation, Edgar's Mission.
