Sorry, Timothée Chalamet, but I don’t buy that the old arts are irrelevant. The hopeless romantic in me still loves kicking it old-school with handwritten letters, dramatic confessions, and actually talking to people instead of just hearting their texts.

Which is why I’m kind of obsessed with Letters Live, the beloved London show headed here Thursday for one night only. Expect surprise celebrity readings of letters written by icons from David Bowie to Charlotte Brontë. Enter to win premium tickets, a tote, and a copy of Diaries of Note.*
