WORDTheatre is your live access – in theatres and on-line – to celebrations of short fiction featuring great authors and actors. Stories become word “theatre,” not because they are acted out but because the actors step into the story, live in the characters’ skins, feel their hidden yearnings, and expose their unquiet souls.
“It was a very moving evening, it was just overwhelming to hear that, very touching, beautifully read, especially that last story…”
JOYCE CAROL OATES Author
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word became WORDTheatre!
For nearly two decades, this organisation has made a considerable contribution to the culture of the written and the spoken word. In numerous recitals in the US and UK, WORDTheatre in performance has been delivered at an extraordinarily high level. I’ve be been lucky, both as an actor and a writer, to contribute to the spread of the WORDTheatre experience and to have brought valued friends to the party.”
