Abstract

The day after the second London bombing episode (8 July 2005), I walked across town from Fleet Street to Sloane Square’s Royal Court Theatre to see Talking to Terrorists, a play by Robin Soans based on interviews with people who have been involved with or directly affected by terrorism. The play — directed by Max Stafford-Clark as a joint production between his company, Out of Joint, and the Royal Court Theatre — is only one of a number of recent British plays that have come to be called “Verbatim Theatre” because they use people’s actual words.KeywordsSocial DramaRace RelationPublic EventWhite YouthTruth ClaimThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
