Most-cited papers in New Theatre Quarterly

‘Verbatim Theatre’: Oral History and Documentary Techniques

Derek Paget · 1 Nov 1987

‘Verbatim Theatre’ has been the term utilized by Derek Paget during his extensive researches into that form of documentary drama which employs (largely or exclusively) tape-recorded material from the ‘real-life’ originals of the characters and events to which it gives dramatic shape.

Palimpsest or Potential Space? Finding a Vocabulary for Site-Specific Performance

Cathy Turner · 25 Oct 2004

A recent preoccupation with space and place has drawn together theorists and workers in a wide range of disciplines, including human geographers, archaeologists, architects, cartographers, psychoanalysts, sociologists, poets, novelists – and theatre practitioners. There are therefore a range of lenses, a range of vocabularies, through which site-specific theatre and performance can be considered. In this…
