Welcome To Lit Live
Where Perth's best actors transport you through the magic of fiction, one short story at a time.
LIT LIVE is a simple concept:
We take a memorable and diverse selection of international stories and pair them with brilliant performers.
But what makes this straightforward idea so special is the beautiful alchemy of language and the rollercoaster of emotions that a well-told story can take you on.
Stories inspire, provoke and entertain.
You can be transported across the world to places and times both familiar and strange, and be entranced by the funny, tragic, silly and sublime.
Produced and presented by actor Sarah McNeill, each literary performance is carefully crafted around a theme and usually includes live musicians. Lit Live also produces theatrical shows and play readings and does storytelling for children's events.

Lit Live performs at:
*Theatres
