Geffen Playhouse – Gil Cates Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Heated discussion and hearty laughter are sure to result from Rapture, Blister, Burn, the white-hot new play from Gina Gionfriddo. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Becky Shaw, Gionfriddo — whose recent TV work includes writing for the Emmy-nominated Netflix series House of Cards — has crafted a play that makes audiences howl and critics swoon. Rapture, Blister, Burn centers on Catherine, a rockstar feminist academic, who returns home to take care of her elderly mother. There, she encounters an old flame and an “ex” best friend who seem to be excelling at the kind of conventional life Catherine rejected. But first impressions can be very deceiving. Peter DuBois directs this exploration of how the lives of women have (and have not) changed, starring Amy Brenneman of TV’s Private Practice and Judging Amy.
