Academy Award nominee Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman, Star Wars, "Girls") and Golden Globe winner Keri Russell ("The Americans," Waitress, "Felicity") star in the acclaimed drama by Pulitzer Prize winner Lanford Wilson.
When a mysterious death brings together two unlikely strangers, their explosive connection sparks a chemistry too fiery to ignore. Directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), and co-starring Tony nominees David Furr and Brandon Uranowitz, BURN THIS is a smoldering story of love and raw attraction by one of the most vital playwrights of the modern era.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Burn This
Adam Driver and Keri Russell bring sexy if uneven smolder to Burn This: EW review
8 / 10
In director Michael Mayer's kinetic, consistently engaging production, though, it really is a piece for quatre: David Furr, as Anna's swaggering screenwriter boyfriend, Burton, and Brandon Uranowitz, as her wisecracking roommate Larry, aren't just foils; they're fully formed humans who may not be part of the story's central romance (or at least not on the winning end of the equation), but who consistently give the almost pathologically intense deux at its center light and air.
‘Burn This’ review: Adam Driver, Keri Russell sizzle in love dance
8 / 10
Michael Mayer's fine cast plays up the humor, and then some. By hinting at the loneliness underlying Larry's one-liners, Brandon Uranowitz makes the character more than a pre-'Will & Grace' sidekick, while David Furr, dashing and confident, holds his own in the fairly thankless role of Burton. And Russell? She's just plain beautiful in a star turn filled with the rich, emotional honesty that made her irresistible in TV's 'Felicity.' Her toned legs and exquisite arches make her look like the dancer she plays. Driver, a theater actor long before he starred in TV's 'Girls' and started his Kylo Ren tour in 'Star Wars,' gives a performance as wonderfully weird as it is vanity-free. He's game for anything, emerging at one point in little more than some cheesy black BVDs.
