Orange Peels

Recommended by

  • Collin Smith: Orange Peels

    A beautifully melancholic portrait of romance & mental illness. Cameron creates an all too real image of how having mental illness can make even the most banal things, like orange peels, feel insurmountable. It balances out to feel neither sentimental nor hopeless; rather, Orange Peels is an honest, raw, and moving story highlighting the difficulties of living day to day.

  • Jamie Hall: Orange Peels

    ORANGE PEELS is tender and neurotic and all around a vulnerable expression of what loving a real person looks like. When two people with mental illness love each other, it can be messy/complicated, but Cameron paints a scene that depicts something beautiful and complete. The ending is really quite perfect.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Orange Peels

    A beautiful testament to love and relationships. The intensity of an adult life can be overwhelming for so many and the strains of just maunvering through the hurdles is hard enough, but when anyone faces the darkness in their own mind it can be downright exhausting, You'll be rooting for Melinda and Oscar as you finish this play.
