Alecky Blythe is one of the pioneers of “verbatim” theatre – documentary drama constructed from recorded interviews.

"One thing that emerged from the research was exactly how the gap between rich and poor is growing. There’s now a greater financial apartheid. Areas like Hackney are being overrun with coffee shops selling cappuccinos for £3. I’m aware I’m part of that gentrification – I’ve been living in Hackney for 12 years now – but what the play made clear to me, clearer than before, was what those tensions were and that people were getting really angry about it."Alecky Blythe
