Blood Orange, a dark drama by Abigail Duclos

Et Alia Theater presents Blood Orange, a dark drama by Abigail Duclos. The Jeffrey & Paula Gural Theatre of A.R.T./New York, 502 West 53rd Street, New York City, ADA accessible. Blood Orange, by Abigail Duclos and produced by Et Alia Theater, 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 deeply into grief and depicts it as an ugly, intricate, and biting experience, examining the complexities of modern teenage girlhood and sexuality. The play asks, "how do young women navigate a culture that hypersexualizes them while demonizing their desires?"
