““oRANGE "is a thought-provoking and minimalist play that explores themes of individuality, conformity, and courage.The story uses simple yet symbolic elements like tablecloths and colors to represent societal norms and the struggle to break free.The dialogue is sharp, and the characters' interactions effectively convey tension and growth.Recommended for audiences seeking a creative, allegorical narrative that challenges perceptions and celebrates the power of choice.”

“Four people arrive one by one at two small tables, whose tablecloths match the scarves worn around the visitors’ necks. The first to arrive, though red-scarfed, opts to sit at the yellow-clothes table, much to the shock of the yellow-scarfed characters and the delight of her red-scarfed companion.

With a fun use of minimal dialogue, each character having only two phrases which change in tone and timbre across repetitions to build a surprisingly strong storyline about rejecting expectations and boundaries. It’s very simple, and often quite silly, but it was a real crowd-pleaser and warmed up the crowd for the evening ahead.

Perhaps not all short plays are suited to later expansion, but as a delightful and surprisingly poignant skit, oRANGE was more effective that I would have thought.”
