The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire

The great Anne Washburn has a new play, directed by Steve Cosson.  Vineyard Theatre October 23-November 30

Somewhere in foggy Northern California, an intentional community tries to live off the land and keep an unsteady world at bay.  But when one of their own dies unexpectedly, ideals are tested and faith in their independence is rocked. THE BURNING CAULDRON OF FIERY FIRE is a tender, funny, probing story about a death, a pageant, a rescue, a resurrection, pigs, and the act of saying grace. 
 

sounds fascinating!! Tickets from $38 on sale now!

Running through December 7.  It’s gotten great reviews 

NYT Critics pick!

She didn’t give bull Durham a critics pick. She rightly panned it because it was wretched.  She correctly gave Versailles a critics pick and I haven’t seen Cauldron yet to judge.  The woman clearly has taste 

Anyone see this? I’m feeling very stupid because I have no idea what to make of it, what it was trying to say, or what the ending meant.

Then again after reading those reviews it seems I’m not the only one haha
