Orange, Hat & Grace
Opening Night: September 22, 2010
Closing: October 10, 2010
Theater: Soho Repertory
In a cabin in the woods, aging Orange finds her orderly life upended by a feral suitor and the reappearance of a figure from her past who’s come home for a final visit. Equal parts American gothic and unlikely romance, Orange, Hat & Grace is a funny, fierce and provocative inquiry into our relationship with the natural world.

"I wish I knew what to call them," says Hat one moment late into Orange, Hat and Grace, as he laments each dead bird he’s found. Nature is dying, and he’s at a loss for words.
