benedictcumberbatchAt the Hay Literary Festival 2014, Cumberbatch performs several dramatic readings of various notable correspondences – including a letter written to a suicidal fan by Iggy Pop, a note from Richard Avedon to his father and interactions between Bessie Moore and British serviceman, Chris Barker.
