Living Literature is a collective of RI-based performing artists, who celebrate the written word through readers theatre style performances of non-dramatic literature. Since its inception in January of 1996, Living Literature has created well over 100 presentations based on poems, stories, novels, plays, essays, biographies, articles, and oral histories, in libraries, schools, and other community venues throughout southeastern New England. This is Living Literature’s sixth year creating programs for Reading Across Rhode Island, the signature program of Rhode Island Center for the Book, and the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities. Living Literature will present a readers theatre style performance of Norwegian by Night intended for both audiences who have read the work and those who have not.
