Internationally Paolo Nani’s THE LETTER is the most touring Danish performance ever. It was produced in 1992 in co-operating with Nullo Facchini, director of Theatre Cantabile, and since then it has been touring in most of the European countries, as well as Chile, Iceland, Greenland, Croatia and Turkey.

THE LETTER has been presented five times at Köln Comedy Festival, two times at London Mime Festival, and won 1 Price United Slapstick - The European Comedy Award, in Frankfurt, in 1994 and 1 Price Roner SurPris 2005 - Bolzano, Italien.

THE LETTER has been named cult and classic by the international press and it is still attracting a big number of audiences from all cultures, of all ages.

THE LETTER is a very simple performance: The same story told in 15 entirely different ways: Drunk, western style, silent film, without hands, horror, back to front, circus, surprised, vulgar, magical, etc. But all the variations have two things in common: No words are spoken and the result is ludicrous.

During the performance it soon becomes clear that the strength of the act is the contact between the actor and the audience, which rises to a ‘crescendo’ of games and surprises.

The quality of THE LETTER is an extreme simplicity: No scenography, no special lighting, no special effects, no special costumes but an actor’s tour de force, precision, timing and fantasy. The performance is packed with details and gags from the beginning until the end. Not even a single minute is left to pause from laughing.
