An Introduction to Verbatim Theatre | National Theatre

Verbatim theatre is a type of theatre-making where the text is generated from interviews with 'real life' people. There are various methods of using and practicing this form of theatre, explored through this film which features verbatim practitioners Alecky Blythe (London Road), Nadia Fall (Home), David Hare (Stuff Happens) and Nicolas Kent (The Colour of Justice).

I'm assistant directing 'The Laramie Project' so this has been really helpful. For me there's some added heartache by constantly being reminded it's real.

[@darcy230]
