The Letters… Rediscovering the Art of Courtship is a dating show with a difference. Using the art of writing love letters, the show follows eight young men who compete for the affections of one woman. In each episode the suitors are challenged to write their way into the woman’s heart. But there’s a twist. The woman never sees what the suitors look like and they only get a sense of her throughout the show, until the last episode. To make things more inspiring – they use pen names.
“It’s absolutely fun and romantic!” says producer Hoda Elatawi. “This show gives everyone a chance to show a more creative and heart-felt side of themselves because it’s all about the writing.”
Elatawi, who created the series, was inspired by friends who were in a long distance relationship and fell in lovethrough their letters. The show also features some of the most romantic love letters of all time and some valuable tips to get our pens moving.

On the one hand, you can just laugh – often uproariously – at the escalating madness here. The judge first distracted by his hay fever and then demented by his hay fever tablets; the Jewish defendant at loggerheads with his Christian attorney; the prosecutor beset by his hysterical boyfriend. Mamet pillories every kind of political correctness. And what the hell is
