LA is burning. When two old Angelenos lose everything, they must navigate overwhelming grief, toxic ash and paperwork purgatory, surrounded by clueless celebs, posturing politicians and frazzled firefighters. 6000 miles away, their (very) anxious daughter clings to composure.
Award nominated Burn Baby Burn is a searing tragicomedy exploring the human cost of climate change and the humans fanning the flames. A sharp-witted blend of storytelling, songs and comic characterization. It asks questions nobody wants to answer like: Why was LA’s biggest reservoir empty? What the hell is a ‘firenado’? And how did 80s film star Steve Guttenberg become a low-key hero?
With a childhood shaped by wildfires and her parents home destroyed in January 2025's blaze, Hunter's done what any good performer would do...transformed personal tragedy into hilarious and heartbreaking theatre. Following her acclaimed debut solo show, in partnership with Slackline Productions, champion of women 35+.
"An excellent play." Chris Neville Smith on Theatre
"Great jokes, surprisingly catchy songs and a powerful message." The Obscurity
"A retelling of an environmental and social catastrophe, with a dash of Californian whimsy." Reviews Hub
"A dark topic, but one empathically conveyed...carefully directed by Kristin Duffy, giving space to Hunter’s charming and assured performance. Hunter describes the episode with adept storytelling, humour and music accompanied by a ukulele." -Rialto Arts
