Burn This

The place is a Manhattan loft shared by Anna, a young dancer-choreographer, and her two gay roommates: her collaborator, Robby, who has just been killed in a freak boating accident, and Larry, a world-weary, caustically funny young advertising executive. As Lanford Wilson’s Burn This begins, Anna is recovering from attending Robby’s funeral, comforted by her wealthy, well-meaning boyfriend Burton, a sci-fi screenwriter whose persistent proposals of marriage Anna finds herself unable to accept. Then, with sudden, unexpected explosiveness, Robby’s older brother bursts on the scene and stays on to transform the action of the play and the lives of those in it.

There are added performances Thursday, August 26 at 8pm and Sunday, August 29 at 7pm.
