Peeling Oranges

Jae returns home to the small town of Sisters, Oregon, to find her Mother (Umma) and sister (Luna), each preoccupied with their own emotional worlds. As relationships and mental health begin to unravel, the family is forced to confront their memories and ghosts in an attempt to reconstruct their past. Truth and fiction become blurred as it becomes clear that no one’s memory is fully trustworthy. When a new resident of the town enters Jae’s life, assumptions and fears become uncovered. A reflection on memory, daughter-sister-motherhood and Korean-American women, this play questions the blurriness between culture, love, abuse, and madness.
