AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Alana Valentine's play is a verbatim piece about the battle to overturn the decision to exclude the South Sydney Rabbitohs from the NRL. Based on extensive interviews with both public faces of the campaign including George Piggins, Andrew Denton and Nicholas Pappas, and grassroots supporters such as Mark Courtney, Barbara Selby and Marcia Seebacher, this is a story of passion and politics that goes beyond football.'

Verbatim: Staging Memory and Community 'has been written specifically for the NSW HSC topic on Verbatim Theatre. Focusing on the plays set for the topic—The Laramie Project; Aftershocks; Parramatta Girls; Run Rabbit Run, Minefields and Miniskirts—the book provides project and production history, commentary and analysis, reviews and audience reactions, as well as interviews with the creators of the plays: Each play is explored in its social context, and in the context of the history and range of documentary and "real life" forms of contemporary drama.'
