Orange Book

Orange Book is a site responsive peformance work by Charles Unwin ().

The play

Created by Unwin in 2011 as part of his Masters Degree in Theatre and Performance Practice at the University of Cape Town.

According to the thesis, the piece was first scripted as a project for the MA and performed at the Rosedale Building, on the UCT Hiddingh Campus in May 2011. From there it evolved into a site-responsive work being performed in various venues as different "editions": The Orange Book Farm Edition (at ZINK, Tamboorskloof, Cape Town); the Orange Book School Edition (the Rosedale Building, on the UCT Hiddingh Campus), the Orange Book Infected Edition (Piazza Building on Church Square, for the Infecting the City performance festival, March, 2012) and the Orange Book Hall Edition (Cape Town City Hall, November 2012).

The entire process for creating the work in its final form was written up by Unwin as an unpublished minor dissertation called Dramatization and Philosophy in Orange Book. Explication of a Site Responsive Performance Work and its Research.
