Recorded Delivery

ABOUT:
Recorded Delivery was founded in 2003 by Alecky Blythe. Having been inspired by Mark Wing Davy's teaching of the verbatim technique at his Drama Without Paper workshop, she quickly fell in love with the style and wrote and put on her first verbatim show, Come Out Eli, which she also performed in, herself. The play was about the Hackney siege and was presented the Time Out Live Awards Best Production on the Fringe in 2004. Having a successful experience with her first play, Alecky continued to experiment with and explore the verbatim technique, finding new ways of approaching material and performance.

"We thought Recorded Delivery's portrayal of us was brilliant. It was authentic and caught the immediacy and spontaneity perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed watching is and were able to laugh at ourselves."

The stage drama Strawberry fields in 2005 raised political issues surrounding the use of migrant labour on industrial scale strawberry farms. The script was constructed by first hand testimonies from various people effected by the topic.
