Verbatim and Documentary Theatre in Australia has been written specifically for the NSW HSC topic on Verbatim Theatre. Focusing on the plays set for the topic-The Laramie Project; Aftershocks; Parramatta Girls; Run Rabbit Run, Minefields and Miniskirts-the book provides project and production history, commentary and analysis, reviews and audience reactions, as well as interviews with the creators of the plays: Each play is explored in its social context, and in the context of the history and range of documentary and `real life' forms of contemporary drama.
