Hot off the heels of sellout smash Pride and Prejudice, 4th Wall Theatre Company is starting 2019 with another Houston premiere, Rapture, Blister, Burn by Gina Gionfriddo. This 2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist is a comedic but unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of fourth-wave feminism. As a piece thats part history lesson, part gender prognostication, and part laugh-out-loud comedy, we think theres something here for everyone, says Kim Tobin-Lehl, Director and 4th Wall Co-Artistic Director. Its a whip-smart story that asks its audience to wrestle with a variety of perspectives, hopefully leaving us all smiling and a little wiser in the end. The play follows two successful women on radically opposing trajectories. One has built a career as a rockstar academic while the other has built a loving home; each, however, longs for the road not taken. In this dangerous game of musical chairs, audiences will enjoy Gionfriddos searing insight and trademark wit on full display.4th Wall Theatres production of Rapture, Blister, Burn will run February 28 March 23, 2019, at Studio 101, Spring Street Studios, 1824 Spring Street, Houston, TX 77007. Shows run at 7:30pm on Thursdays through Saturdays and at 3:00pm on Sundays. Tickets run from $17 to $53, with a Pay-What-You-Can performance Monday, March 18. There will be cast talkbacks following the Sunday matinees on March 10 and March 17. The play contains adult language and themes.

BWW Review: RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN raises a feminist eyebrow at 4TH Wall Theatre Company

March 02, 2019

It has a lot to offer audiences, and women will appreciate the portrayal of their struggle to choose which path they should take. There is the traditional one including a family, as well as the ambitious career-centered one that risks not having that. What do women really want? And are they game enough to go for it once they realize what it is.
