Rapture, Blister, Burn

RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN
By Gina Gionfriddo
Directed by Susie Schutt

Hailed as a "genius" by Variety, playwright Gina Gionfriddo's latest comedy tackles feminism's foibles in what The New York Times called an, "intensely smart and immensely funny" new play. Three generations of women share their raucous and refreshing approaches to navigating work, love and family. Rock star academic Catherine envies her friend Gwen who finds her domestic responsibilities less than satisfying. Meanwhile the witty and wry student Avery wonders whether she has more in common with Catherine's aging mother than any of today's modern feminists. This new comedy takes a sharp look at how women, and men, find happiness and conquer disappointment.
