I was funded by the Arts Council to research and develop a theatrical, interactive cross art form installation piece, which explored and celebrated the life and work of Joe Orton. The results of this period of development were displayed at the prison cells in Leicester’s Guildhall.
Through the
interactive nature of the design and the multi-disciplinary nature of the work,
including the use of sound and lighting, the audience were invited to touch,
listen and look to discover more about Leicester’s most famous playwright.
