Many Hats Theatre’s latest production, Rapture, Blister, Burn, opens on Sept. 5, and tickets are now on sale.
Rapture, Blister, Burn is a contemporary comedy by award-winning American playwright Gina Gionfriddo who has written for The West Wing and House of Cards. Set in a small New England college town, Rapture, Blister, Burn dissects modern gender politics through its comedy. Traversing the experiences of women across the generations, this play is an entertaining exploration of a new style of feminism, fit for the 21st century.
After university Catherine, played by Tammy Hansel, and Gwen, played by Dianna Zumpano, chose opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rock-star academic, while Gwen built a home with her children and husband Don, played by Neil Ritcey. Decades later, unfulfilled in their own ways, each woman covets the other’s life, and a dangerous game begins as each tries to claim the other’s territory.
