The first in WordTheatre's series, Love Hurtsoffers up four souls suffering from affairs of the heart.

In an achingly funny and poignant performance, Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park)portrays a thirteen year old who comes of age in the Brooklyn of long ago in Arthur Miller's not quite autobiographical short story"Bulldog," first published in The New Yorker, August 2001.

Academy Awardand#174; Winner Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock, Mystic River)slips elegantly into the role of a wife deeply in love with her dying husband on their last days together sailing the seas of literature in Pamela Painter's 2005 Pushcart Prize-winning story "Reading in His Wake," originally published in Ploughshares.

And BAFTA Film and Television Award winner Bill Nighy (Love Actually, State of Play) introduces a new Olympic sport as he battles his ex-wife for the gold medal in Ron Carlson's hysterical story "The Gold Lunch," first published in Ploughshares.

WordTheatre brings people together to share stories in a unique way. Through this collective experience, we aim to deepen our sense of community as we celebrate the oral storytelling tradition.
