The Art of Burning

March 2 – 26, 2023

By Kate Snodgrass

Directed by Melia Bensussen

In association with Huntington Theatre Company

An inspired new comedy exploring the love, rage, and responsibility that go with marriage and parenting in America.

Mid-negotiation, modernist painter Patricia changes the terms of her ‘conscious uncoupling’ with Jason. She wants full custody of their 15-year-old daughter Beth. Jason demands that their daughter decide, but mysteriously Beth didn’t show up for school. Has Patricia hidden her away to protect her, or is there something more sinister afoot?

RUN TIME:
Approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

A Note From the Artistic Director: What does it take for a person to feel like an equal, what does it take for anyone to feel like they have a voice, and therefore agency? Kate's play is an adventurous foray through these questions - exploring Medea, parenting, divorce, and ultimately how to do best for the next generation.
