Verbatim: Staging Memory and Community

Verbatim and Documentary Theatre in Australia has been written specifically for the NSW HSC topic on Verbatim Theatre. Focusing on the plays set for the topic—The Laramie Project; Aftershocks; Parramatta Girls; Run Rabbit Run, Minefields and Miniskirts—the book provides project and production history, commentary and analysis, reviews and audience reactions, as well as interviews with the creators of the plays: Each play is explored in its social context, and in the context of the history and range of documentary and ‘real life’ forms of contemporary drama.
