Offering a roadmap for practicing verbatim theatre (plays created
from oral histories), this book outlines theatre processes through
the lens of oral history and draws upon oral history scholarship to
bring best practices from that discipline to theatre practitioners.
This book opens with an overview of oral history and verbatim
theatre, considering the ways in which existing oral history
debates can inform verbatim theatre processes and highlights
necessary ethical considerations within each field, which are
especially prevalent when working with narrators from marginalised
communities. It provides a step-by-step guide to creating plays
from interviews and contains practical guidance for determining the
scope of a theatre project: identifying narrators and conducting
interviews, developing a script from excerpts of interview
transcripts and outlining a variety of ways to create verbatim
theatre productions. By bringing together this explicit discussion
of oral history in relationship to theatre based on personal
testimonies, the reader gains insight into each field and the close
relationship between the two. Supported by international case
studies that cover a wide range of working methods and productions,
including The Laramie Project and Parramatta Girls, this is the
perfect guide for oral historians producing dramatic
representations of the material they have sourced through
interviews, and for writers creating professional theatre
productions, community projects or student plays.
