Love Stories – A Conversation with Trent Dalton
Thursday 23rd January, 7pm
Join bestselling author Trent Dalton, the brilliant mind behind Love Stories, alongside playwright Tim McGarry, in an inspiring conversation hosted by ABC Illawarra’s Melinda James and presented by our partner Merrigong.
Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author 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. Speaking to Australians from all walks of life, he asked them one simple thing: ‘Can you please tell me a love story?’
Now, as Love Stories prepares for its NSW premiere, hear first-hand from Trent and Tim about the creative process of taking Love Stories from page to stage.
