In this talk, Lloyd Newson (QMUL Artist in residence), Chris Goode and Alecky Blythe, who have all created successful verbatim plays, will explain why they chose this medium. They will compare their different working methods and discuss why truth, authenticity and responsibility are recurring themes in the production of verbatim plays.
