Rapture, Blister, Burn

Catherine and Gwen were close friends all throughout grad school yet chose polar opposite paths upon graduation.  Catherine became a career-oriented academic with two published books and notoriety to match while Gwen followed the path of building a family and a home.  Years later, after limited communication over the years, both women are unfulfilled and covet the other’s life.  When Catherine returns home to be closer to her ailing mother, a dangerous game of musical chairs commences.  The prize? Gwen’s husband.  Both women will soon struggle to find that balance between a satisfied career and fulfilling personal life.

Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rapture, Blister, Burn is a witty comedy that takes an unflinching look at gender politics and how feminist ideals have changed between the 20th and 21st Century.
