Verbatmin Definition

In class I came across a word that I did not know the meaning of, 
antherefore decided to do some further research into, and find
out exactly what it was. 

Definition for verbatim:

ver·ba·tim/vərˈbātəm/


  • using exactly the same words; "he repeated her remarks verbatim"

  • direct: in precisely the same words used by a writer or speaker; "a 
  • direct quotation"; "repeated their dialog verbatim"
Adverb:
In exactly the same words as were used originally: "recite 
the passage verbatim"; "verbatim quotes".
Synonyms:literatim - word for word - verbally - literally




Definition for verbatim theatre:

Web  definitions:
Verbatim theatre is a form of documentary theatre in which 
plays are constructed  from the precise words spoken by 
people interviewed about a particular event or topic.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbatim_theatre



I then did some of my own personally research by going 
to The National Theatre in Waterloo London with a few 
of my friends to look into what exactly verbatim theatre 
was. We found some very useful books in The National 
Theatre bookshop and one specifically on verbatim. Myself and my friends found this book very useful, and I believe that after reading a few key extracts from the book I now have a much deeper understanding of 'vertabim' and 'vertabim theatre.'
