Letters To 007
Ever since his first appearance in Ian Fleming's classic novels over half a century ago, James Bond has been the image of the ultimate man and has witnessed a constant presence in cinema, literature and culture across the world. From the reimaginings of authors Anthony Horowitz and William Boyd, to the interpretations of actors including Sean Connery and Daniel Craig, each interpretation has brought a new version of 007 to the fore.
The world has seen profound changes since Bond’s creation, and as David Oyelowo is announced as one of the first black actors to voice a Bond audio-book and questions are raised about whether Bond could ever be gay on screen, Letters to 007 explores whether there are sides to Bond’s character yet to be discovered.
A cast of actors including Matthew Parker and the first black 007 Hugh Quarshie - the Ghanaian-born British actor who read the audiobook version of Dr. No in 2012 - will read a selection of letters, some addressed to 007, others written by his creator Ian Fleming, whose collected letters are being published for the first time.
