Burn This
Burn This Broadway is a play by Lanford Wilson. Like much of Wilson’s work, the play includes themes of gay identity and relationships. The play begins shortly after the funeral of Robbie, a young, gay dancer who drowned in a boating accident with his lover Dom. In attendance were Robbie’s roommates: his sensitive dance partner and choreographer, Anna, and confident, gay ad man Larry. Soon joining them in Robbie’s lower Manhattan loft are screenwriter Burton (Anna’s longtime lover) and Pale (Robbie’s cocaine-snorting, hyperactive restaurant manager brother). In the face of their shared tragedy, the quartet attempts to make sense of their lives and reconsider their own identities and relationships. Anna learns to be independent and self-confident. She begins to pursue her interest in choreography and begins a relationship with Pale, ending her dispassionate relationship with her longtime boyfriend.
