About Juniper Blood
“Dreams. You don’t compromise on those.”
Lip and Ruth have escaped the hustle of city life in search of something more fulfilling—a peaceful existence on the farm. But that tranquility is shattered when Ruth’s stepdaughter and her provocative best friend arrive, turning their rural retreat into a flashpoint of clashing ideals and tangled relationships.
A compelling exploration of how ideals collide with reality, Juniper Blood is Bartlett at his most intimate and unflinching, weaving emotional complexity with moral tension. A play that shines a light on how fragile our visions of a “better life” can become.
