"Their brilliant inventiveness in performance, choreography, and staging,
has created a new art form, and a deeply affecting experience.
"Forget books on tape.
Word for Word puts books on stage, and does so with a skill, intelligence
and insight that live up to the group's slogan:
'We bring literature to life.'" |
Word for Word is a professional theatre company that stages short stories, performing every word the author has written, and thus preserving his/her voice and honoring the writer's intent. Literature is brought to life through inventive staging and exciting visual effects. Word for Word states its goals as being "to excite people about the written word, to inspire them to read more, to create new audiences for the theatre, and to share the world's diverse cultures and stories". As one of their company members says: "It's like being read to. While it's fully literary in content, it's completely theatrical in form."
