Find me

• When Find Me was performed

  • Theatre could seat an audience of 80
  • Six former church pews arranged around the acting area, creating a theatre in the round performing space
• Wymark influenced by Jerzy Grotowski's 'poor theatre'

  In Grotowski's plays, the audience shared the space with actors
• The Orange Tree was the ideal venue
• Original production

  • Minimal costume
  • No set or props
• Initial productions at The Orange Tree

  • Staged in daylight
  • Staged at lunch times
• When Find Me was later staged

  • Theatre lighting had been introduced
  • Script included lighting instructions, including blackouts, which are clearly noted in the stage directions
• Lack of technical requirements and claustrophobic atmosphere

  Made Find Me the ideal production for this intimate studio space
