Verbatim Theatre is the surprise success story of the modern stage: Drawing on interviews and testimonies of witnesses, verbatim plays are retelling actual events, shifting the theatre from fictional worlds to a form of reportage. Examples of critically acclaimed Australian verbatim plays are Alana Valentines Run Rabbit Run retelling the story of the South Sydneys fight to play in the National Rugby League and Paul Browns Aftershocks concerning the Newcastle earthquake and its aftermath.
