The original 1987 Broadway premiere of Lanford Wilson’s blistering masterpiece 'Burn This' exploded onto the stage of the Plymouth Theatre, running for an astonishing 437 performances and permanently establishing a high-water mark for contemporary American dramatic realism. Set in a gritty, cavernous loft apartment in late-1980s Lower Manhattan, the plot forces a direct confrontation with grief, artistic identity, and raw erotic warfare when a dance choreographer is thrown into an intense affair with her deceased friend's dangerous brother. Directed by Marshall W. Mason, the historic premiere famously starred John Malkovich in an iconic turn as Pale alongside Joan Allen.
