Word for Word is a San Francisco based theater company that brings works of literature to the stage. Instead of adapting a script, they use every word of a text in a dynamic, evocative style that communicates the intended beauty of the prose or poetry.
In [this] podcast, the company brings their unique style into your home for the first time, revisiting some favorite stories from the past as well as exploring some works they haven't previously performed. Fans of Word for Word will appreciate the same aesthetic from their full theatrical productions and their Off the Page reading series.
This podcast is a mixture of storytelling and discussion segments.
