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.
