We had such a great turn out for the first Lit Live of the year. Thank you all for your support. Pass the word on to your friends - and I'll order more wine!
The theme in March was Love and Other Catastrophes. Humans have been writing about love for millions of years, but the best and most enduring stories are those with drama at their heart - love and loss, pain, heartbreak, and sometimes death.
The stories chosen for March ranged from new stories from emerging Australian writers to one written in 1894, but with a surprisingly contemporary style and twist.
These are the stories read by actors Rebecca Davis, Thomas Papathanassiou and Sarah McNeill.
