Spanish Oranges

Two artists. One marriage.

Fiona is a novelist on the brink of fame with a new book that blurs the line between fiction and confession. Ivo, once a celebrated actor, has been canceled—and he suspects Fiona’s success may be built on the bones of his downfall.

Set over a single turbulent morning, this razor-sharp play examines the shifting power dynamics between love and ambition, truth and narrative, art and the people it consumes.

Loosely inspired by Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, Spanish Oranges is a searing exploration of modern intimacy and the lies we tell on the page, on the stage, and to each other.

Star of classic James Bond film The Living Daylights, Maryam D'Abo leads a stellar cast in this blistering new debut play from acclaimed novelist Alba Arikha, directed by Myriam Cyr, which makes its world premiere at the Playground Theatre.
