WRITING
Books, translations, essays and research projects exploring theatre, literature, performance and cultural history.
Orozco is the author of the first Spanish-language biography of Samuel Beckett, published by Argentina’s National Theatre Institute.
His forthcoming book, Shakespeare’s Index: An A–Z Companion to People and Characters (2026), brings together more than 1,000 figures connected to Shakespeare’s world and legacy — from characters, actors and critics to writers, artists and cultural figures shaped by his influence across centuries.
He also translated and adapted the Spanish-language edition of Manga Shakespeare: Hamlet, bringing Shakespeare’s work to younger audiences through contemporary visual storytelling.
Alongside his books and editorial work, he has contributed articles, criticism and essays to Argentine and international cultural publications, writing on theatre, literature and Shakespeare in performance.
His writing and research have also informed lectures, public conversations and workshops presented in collaboration with institutions including Université Sorbonne, Universidad Di Tella and the British Art Centre.
I’m delighted to announce the publication of my new book, Shakespeare’s Index, which will be released in 2026.
It gives me great pleasure to share with you a project that has been in the making for over a decade, reflecting many years of research, reading, and a deep affection for Shakespeare and his enduring legacy.
Shakespeare Index: An A–Z Companion to People and Characters is the definitive companion for everyone who delights in Shakespeare and the extraordinary reach of his legacy. Bringing together over 1,000 key figures connected directly or indirectly to the playwright, this volume spans the immortal characters of the plays—Hamlet, Desdemona, and many others—alongside the actors, critics, and thinkers who have brought Shakespeare to life across the centuries.
From Elizabeth I to Kurosawa, and featuring iconic figures such as Sarah Bernhardt, Bob Dylan, and the celebrated critic Harold Bloom, this index shows how Shakespeare’s voice continues to echo through theatre, literature, and global culture.
Arranged from A to Z, Shakespeare Index offers an engaging exploration of the people who shaped Shakespeare’s life, sustained his legacy, and transformed the understanding of his works over time. Clear, authoritative, and richly interconnected, it is an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike, as well as for all theatre lovers eager to appreciate Shakespeare’s enduring influence.
