Five specially commissioned discussions of verbatim theatre - in the words of the people who make it. 'What a verbatim play does is flash your research nakedly. It's like cooking a meal but the meat is left raw.' - Max Stafford-Clark Plays which use people's actual words as the basis for their dramaare not a new phenomenon.

'The intention is always to arrive at the truth.' - Nicolas Kent
