What is docudrama? Give examples of different types of docudrama

What will be an ideal response?


Docudrama is a performance in which primary sources serve as the play text. These pieces often address pressing issues with theatrical immediacy. Several solo artists have used the form to explore social and political concerns. Anna Deveare Smith's On the Road project and Even Ensler's Vagina Monologues are two examples of solo social documentary theatre work. Docudramas are also created by groups of artists—for example, The Culture Project, Culture Clash, and The Civilians all create performances using primary sources to illuminate a particular social or political concern. Historical reenactments at sites, such as Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts, are another form of docudrama.
