Of these two, which would be the smarter, more worthwhile purchase?

I would go with BURN THIS. While the play itself is rather thin, Adam Driver is turning in a great performance. The production itself is also very good. KING LEAR does have Glenda Jackson and Ruth Wilson, but other than that, it is a total misfire of a production in nearly every aspect.

Try the TodayTix lottery for Burn This. I lost but took them up on their offer of a $59 consolation ticket and am glad I did. Adam Driver May be giving the performance of the year and that’s saying a lot considering the competition.

Where were the consolation tickets located? Thanks.

Limelight, I havent seen Lear but I can tell you that Burn This was a decent production of a decent play, and Adam Driver's performance in it was electric, and really worth the price of admission.

Row T Center back of the orchestra. I would have liked to have been a little closer for Keri and Brandon but appreciated the distance from Driver.

Having seen both, I’m also in the “burn this” camp.
