Trent Dalton's Love Stories - coming to a theatre near you!

Fall in love with a story that’s bigger than romance—one that celebrates the kindness, heartbreak, and joy that connect us all.Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author — and one of Australia's finest journalists — Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 gathering stories on his sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on a prominent street corner in Brisbane’s CBD.

After a sold-out season at Brisbane Festival, Trent Dalton’s Love Stories is heading on tour, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

“I believe in touch. I believe in song. I believe she remembers him. I believe the perfect girl can always meet the perfect boy. I believe we are not alone in the universe.” 

It’s a poignant celebration of the connections that bind us together, even in the most unexpected moments... Artshub
