Creating Verbatim Theatre - exploring the gap between public inquiry and private pain Using an Arts Informed/Narrative Inquiry as its methodology this thesis examines the process of play text creation, using only the edited transcripts of authentic testimony, taken either from participant narratives or documentary accounts in the public domain. The construction of the play text therefore adheres to the Verbatim Theatre form and the paper suggests that this form is resurgent, because of its unique potential to capture community stories in an increasing homogenised media landscape. |
