Blood Orange is an original experimental horror play about grief, girlhood, and starting new religions.

The play tells the story of Faye, a teenage girl who — feeling abandoned by God and her mother in the wake of her father’s violent death — turns to a nightmarish roadkill creature for salvation. Faye then draws her awkward friend, Eden, into a strange religion filled with prayer, blood, and budding love.

The play delves into grief as an ugly, intricate, and biting experience, examining the complexities of modern teenage girlhood and sexuality and asking vital yet often overlooked questions: How do young women navigate a culture that hypersexualizes them while demonizing their desires? What happens when the hunt for pleasure intertwines with pain?
