Trent Dalton’s Love Stories

Riverside Theatres is thrilled to present the Sydney premiere of the smash-hit adaptation of Trent Dalton's best-selling book Love Stories at Riverside Theatres Parramatta.

After a sold-out Brisbane Festival debut season in 2024, playing to more than 20,000 ecstatic audience members, the critically acclaimed Brisbane Festival and Queensland Performing Arts production comes to Riverside Theatres as part of a five-city Australasian tour visiting Parramatta, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, and Auckland.

Love Stories is brought to life by the creative team behind the blockbuster page-to-stage adaptation of Boy Swallows Universe with acclaimed playwright Tim McGarry at the helm, capturing the beating heart of humanity through real-life tales of passion and heartbreak.

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?'.

Don't miss this moving celebration of love, laughter, and the resilience of the human spirit.
