Over the past two decades, theatre practitioners across the West
have turned to documentary modes of performance-making to confront
new socio-political realities. This has led to an astonishing range
of performance styles, ways of working and modes of intervention in
varied sites of theatrical production. The essays in this
collection place this work in context, exploring historical and
contemporary examples of documentary and 'verbatim' theatre, and
applying a range of critical perspectives that elaborate its impact
and significance today. Focusing on examples from the US, UK,
Canada, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East, this
collection, now in paperback for the first time and with a new
Preface, raises provocative questions about documentary theatre's
relationship to new technology, media, the body, the archive,
memory, autobiography, and national identity. It examines the
viability and resonance of documentary theatre in an era of
infotainment, globalisation and postmodernity, and explores its
past and potential contribution within the public sphere.
