PhotosGo Inside the Opening Night Celebration of Burn This on BroadwayThe Michael Mayer production of the Lanford Wilson play, starring Keri Russell and Adam Driver, is currently performing at the Hudson Theatre.
Set in downtown New York in the 1980s, Burn This follows the troubled relationship between a restaurant owner, Pale (Driver), and a dancer named Anna (Russell), in the wake of a shared tragedy—the death of Pale’s brother and Anna’s roommate and dance partner.
The original production premiered Off-Broadway in 1987 starring John Malkovich as Pale and Joan Allen as Anna. The play transferred to Broadway that same year for a critically acclaimed run at the Plymouth Theatre, earning Allen a Tony Award for her performance.
