The Burning House
The show runs on Jan 20 at 8pm, and Jan 22 at 3pm and 8pm.
The Burning House is a comedy that tells the story of an agoraphobic, his brother, and two caretakers as they make their way from youth to middle age amidst a crumbling, near apocalyptic landscape. Through fate, chance encounters, even in dreams they meet, make love, swap lovers, get drunk, and part again. Always not-quite-happy, almost always alone, they each confront the destruction of safety and memory and fight bravely to maintain hope once war, heartbreak, and other disasters invade their home turf.
100 minutes, no intermission.
