Verbatim theatre is a phrase used to describe a type of plays that have become increasingly popular in later years. Verbatim plays are, as the name suggests, written using only verbatim testimony. The playwright interviews people that are connected to the topic that the play is focused on and uses their testimony to construct the piece.
This method has been increasingly popular in dealing with political topics.
Recent, high profile pieces of verbatim theatre include Talking to Terrorists by Robin Soans, My Name is Rachel Corrie by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner and The Permanent Way and Stuff Happens by David Hare.
