BURN

“Fine performances and brisk pacing… engaging and intense.”

“Adam Arian’s direction makes the most of Creighton’s time-traveling script. He employs clever staging techniques to imbue the Strattons’ story with a creepy reality, giving it the tone of a campfire tale where danger lurks around every corner and the ultimate horror is inevitable… The play achieves a sublime sense of tragedy that hits hard at the individual level while hinting at larger social and historical implications, a feat not easily or frequently achieved.”

“The show features beautifully moody direction by Adam Arian, terrific period costumes designed by Ryan Rossetto, evocative sound work by Sanaz Ghajarrahimi and lighting by Greg Mitchell, and uniformly fine acting by the cast.”

“Each setting compliments the other; the curiosity-driven kids propel the plot, creating suspense and asking the questions we, raised on popular ghost stories, expect… When the fear arises, the veracity and power of the story itself, not the fantastic, is what horrifies.”

“Burn is proof that lightning can strike twice at this festival. With strong acting, beautiful visuals, and haunting music that foreshadows the most unsettling moments, Burn is a tight, terrifying story that is worth craning your neck for.”
