About

Verbatim theatre uses the words of real life participants as the dialogue of performed work. How do writers and devisers choose what material to use?

 
Join award-winning playwright, screenwriter, librettist, and director Alana Valentine as she unravels the initiating and dramatic premises of verbatim plays, and demonstrates that archival dialogues contain many compelling themes that dramatists can explore.

Alana is widely known for Letters to Lindy, performed in 2025 by Melville Theatre Company. Among her numerous awards are the Helpmann Award for Best Musical and Best Original Score, an AWGIE Award for her narrative poem Notre Dame, as well as numerous Green Room Awards in a prolific career that includes writing and directing for stage, screen and radio. She currently has three plays on the NSW HSC Syllabus.
