From the LS&CO acting ensemble who brought you the recent critically acclaimed KOFFLER CENTRE OF THE ARTS production of BAD JEWS by Joshua Harmon, comes Lanford Wilson's masterpiece, BURN THIS. What happens after the tragic death of a talented dancer and brother? Amid the art and bohemia of Warhol’s 1980's lower east side Manhattan, Anna and Pale face their shared loss and collide impossibly into a doomed affair. An emotionally and sexually charged comedic drama that explores “free expression of the individual spirit, no matter how non-conformist or even prodigal that spirit may seem to be.” -The New York Times.
