The present study aims at investigating Verbatim Theatre as a Contemporary form of Western drama, focusing on David Hare's (1947) Permanent Way (2003). In this play, Hare mixes politics and art to criticize the Labour Government's performance concerning Privitization of Ralitrack system in Britain in 1991. In sequence of this decision, a series of train crashes between the years 1997-2002.
