UW-W Theatre & Dance Dept. Presents “Burn This”

BURN THIS

by Lanford Wilson
Directed by Bruce Cohen

In a loft filled with grief, passion, and unresolved longing, Lanford Wilson’s “Burn This” explores what happens when the lives we’ve carefully constructed collide with emotions we can no longer suppress. As grief gives way to desire, certainty unravels, and carefully built defenses begin to crumble. What emerges is an emotionally charged portrait of love, vulnerability, and the impossible choices we face when our hearts demand more than our plans allow. As love and loss blur the line between freedom and responsibility, this searing drama asks a timeless question: What are we willing to leave behind in our pursuit of escape—and what will it ultimately cost? Intimate, raw, and deeply human, Wilson’s acclaimed drama reminds us that escaping reality often comes at a price.
