Spanish Oranges, the debut play by Alba Arikha, is ramping up rehearsals ahead of its debut at The Playground Theatre in West London this month.
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 cancelled — 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.
Directed by Myriam Cyr, the cast is led by Maryam D’Abo as Fiona Stedman alongside Jay Villiers as Peter and Arianna Branca as Lydia Stedman.
The creative team also includes Martha Barrow as sound designer, with lighting design by Tom Beazley. The show comes from Counterminers, M&M Ents and The Playground Theatre.
Spanish Oranges will run at The Playground Theatre from Wednesday, February 11 – Saturday, March 7. Tickets here.
