Literature to Life in partnership with Girls Write Now presents If Beale Street Could Talk.
A story that remains disturbingly poignant sixty years after it was first published, James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk is about abiding love in the face of injustice. Told from the perspective of its young heroine, this is the story of one family’s fight for justice in a society where institutional discrimination has the power to destroy lives, a theme that resonates today with audiences from all walks of life.

Literature to Life in partnership with Girls Write Now presents Fahrenheit 451.
This classic American dystopian novel presents a frightening vision of the future: where firemen don’t extinguish fires, they start them in order to burn books. Actor Rich Orlow tells the story through protagonist Guy Montag’s eyes, seamlessly transforming into five other key characters. Bradbury’s vision of a society awash in information yet devoid of critical thought offers audiences a sobering reflection of our own world, and a glimmer of hope for its future. This adaptation explores themes of censorship, knowledge, and conformity.
