Burn Baby Burn: LA Inferno at Etcetera Theatre

LA is burning. When a pair of old Angelenos lose everything, they must navigate overwhelming grief, toxic ash and paperwork purgatory, surrounded by clueless celebs, soulless politicians and insurance vampires. 6000 miles away, their (very) anxious daughter is trying really hard not to unravel.

Burn Baby Burn: LA Inferno is a stripped-back, sharp-witted mix of storytelling, satire, and songs, exploring the human cost of climate change and the humans fanning the flames. Asking questions that nobody wants to answer like: why was LA’s biggest reservoir empty? What the hell is a ‘firenado’? And just how quickly will you be cancelled for posting a ‘fire selfie’?

With a childhood shaped by wildfires and her parents' home destroyed in January’s blaze, Erin’s doing the most rational thing–turning her heartbreak and existential dread into a show.

Burn Baby Burn is Erin Hunter’s second solo show, following the success of critically acclaimed Surfing the Holyland which garnered nominations for the Popcorn/BBC New Writing Award at Ed Fringe and an Offie at Brighton Fringe.

Produced by Slackline Productions, champions of women 35+, and directed by its founder, Kristin Duffy.
