WELCOME TO
TORTIVE LIT
Tortive Lit is a part of Tortive Theatre and grew out of our international writing competitions and championing of new theatrical work and fiction.
​
Tortive Lit grew at such an astonishing rate that our small team couldn't cope with the volume of stories and new work being created and as victims of our own success we decided to take a break to regroup and come up with a sustainable plan to champion writers, new work and publications.
​
While still a part of Tortive Theatre, Tortive Lit has its own home in the world through this site and we're reinvigorated in our quest to give a home to new stories.
COURSES/WORKSHOPS
We are currently working on a programme of courses and workshops for everyone from first-time scribblers through to experienced wordsmiths.

THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME
By Richard Curnow
To hell with anger management! Malvolio from Twelfth Night was done wrong...notorious wrong; so-much-so that he swore to be revenged on the whole pack of those that carried out their campaign of cruel bullying and emotional torture. The Whirligig of Time sees us catch up with Malvolio as he relates, with a great deal of satisfaction, how skilfully he has kept his word.

This one act, mystery-thriller from Roger Bonner is a perfect two-hander for any play festival and keeps the audience guessing right until the last minute.
