The Documentary format, or at least the format of an interview, provides an interesting spin on the contemporary definition of dialogue. The nature of these snippets of a one sided conversation in terms of developing exposition are obvious, but what of the influence of the interviewer on the performance, or the editor on the presentation of that performance? By using an absurd narrative and a satyrical style, we have attempted to demonstrate that very nature of that influence, and the effects of the unseen half of the dialogues; between the interviewer and the interviewed, the audience and the editor.
