To celebrate International Women’s Day, The Show Must Go On! series will return from Monday 8 March to present a variety of streamed performances. 

The channel will work with Letters Live and the streamed shows will be a series of readings; letters by women, about women and to women, read by names including Olivia Colman, Adwoa Aboah, Gillian Anderson, Rose McGowan, Daisy Ridley and Caitlin Moran. 

The series will run on their YouTube Channel for seven days free of charge, however donations can be made, with any received going to The WOW Foundation, the global movement of Women of the World.

Executive producer of Letters Live, Aimie Sullivan, said: "Letters Live have produced three shows on International Women's Day over the years with our last live production to date landing on March 8, 2020 to close the 10th anniversary of the Women of the World Festival at the Southbank Centre, London. While we eagerly anticipate the moment, we can produce shows for a live audience once again, we are delighted to partner with The Shows Must Go On, to share Letters Live further and wider and increase exposure and awareness for the incredible work of The WOW Foundation."

There will be further Letters Live performances featuring Jude Law, Tom Hiddleston, Kylie Minogue, Claire Foy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Carey Mulligan and Damian Lewis on 15 March and 22 March, with donations from those performances going to Choose Love. 

Performances begin from 7pm on 8 March on both the Letters Live and The Show Must Go On YouTube Channels.
