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.
