Such theater play uses these as a source for their script, preferably without changing the wording. When it is solely featuring other people’s words, normally members of public in a given situation, this is considered as “Verbatim Theater”.
Epic Theater
This is basically a theatrical movement that arises in early to the mid-20th century from practice and theories of several theater practitioners who have responded to political climate of such time via creating new political theater.
An epic theater isn’t intended to refer to scope or scale of the work instead, to form that it takes. It is emphasizing the perspective and reaction of the audience to the given piece through different techniques that intentionally cause them to engage in various ways. The objective of this theater play isn’t to encourage the audience to let go of their disbelief instead, to force them in seeing the world as it is.
