Blood orange

the long version

"Blood Orange exposes the relationships simmering among the residents of a suburban cul-de-sac during the Orange County real-estate boom. Against a backdrop of sunburnt hills, Clinton and Ray-Ray and The Girl collide with their mothers, their rites of passage and each other. With slam-dance rhythm and punk dialogue, David Wiener's poetic and driven play explores the sensual and savage underbelly of the California hills and the cult of the American Man."--Page 4 of cover. "[Wiener's] dialogue is honest, quick, and funny. The people he's created speak for themselves. And as the vehicle carrying them hurtles to its disturbing conclusion, you can't help but squirm."--Village Voice, from p. [4] of cover.
