Burn This

See it if You like excellent writing. You want to see a fabulous Adam Driver.

Don't see it if You don’t like intense scenes with some violence. You don’t like to hear coarse language. You’d rather see a light musical.

See it if you are a fan of Keri Russel or Adam Driver

Don't see it if you want to see a new take of a somewhat dated play.

Also I am honestly not clear on why this play was selected for a revival. The genre of Fool For Love. A woman falling in love with a beast who curses all the time and treats everyone like shit (wife and kids anyone?). Then she comforts him (oh yay finally a man can show emotion) while he never does the same for her. I love Keri Russel and wish she could play something that is not so passive. I guess that's the kind of role women get on Broadway nowadays.... Read more Read less

See it if You love a good story well acted

Don't see it if You are tired of revivals

See it if you want to see great performances by Driver and Uranowitz, want to explore how people (poorly) deal with grief

Don't see it if you don't want to see a play that rewards an over-the-top, boorish guy who successfully pushes his way into a woman's life

Also As I was exiting the theater, a guy next to me said, "I think that's everything they tell us not to do when talking about consent." I think if Russell and Driver actually seemed attracted to each other my discomfort might have been at least somewhat alleviated, but as it is the relationship is uncomfortable to watch.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Longer/slow plays are not your thing.

See it if you want to see a tour de force acting moment in theater - Adam Driver is unbelievable in this

Don't see it if outdated cliche romantic melodramatic soap opera stories bother you.

See it if you're a fan of Adam Driver.

Don't see it if you are not an ardent fan of Lanford Wilson's plays.

Also "Burn This" was never one of Lanford Wilson's best plays though it has some very moving moments. The romance at its core remains unconvincing and the production is sluggish - except for Adam Driver's theatrical performance.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You can’t handle monologue-heavy plays and intense character studies

See it if You enjoy intelligent, heartfelt and human dramadies. Adam Driver is exceptional!

Don't see it if You don’t enjoy romantic, old school plays.

Also I saw the original production and feel Adam Driver gives as magnetic a performance as John Malkovich. The play holds up beautifully.... Read more Read less

See it if you're a fan of Adam Driver and Brandon Uranowitz. They are both excellent in this. Adam Driver in particular really commands the stage.

Don't see it if you're a fan of Keri Russell. She was flat and a bit disappointing. She didn't really have much chemistry with the other male actors.

See it if You enjoy dialog heavy, emotional plays. Adam Driver is remarkable.

Don't see it if You are looking for a light evening without message.

See it if You like Adam Driver, he's fantastic in this. If you don't mind seeing something a bit dated. It's entertaining but not all that smart.

Don't see it if You expect a flawless production. Don't like long plays.

See it if You want to see an over the top performance by Adam Driver

Don't see it if You don’t want to see a play that deals with death and grief

Also I found Drivers performance too oversized for Russell’s controlled one and the chemistry lacking between them. But it’s still a show to see for the otherwise great acting by Driver, Furr and Uranowitz... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You prefer plays about conventional families.

See it if Great acting from the full cast. Play holds up very well

Don't see it if It is a long play. Could have cut 20 minutes.

See it if you want to be amazed by how great all the actors are, except K. Russell; A Driver is actually a must see in this which makes it so hard...

Don't see it if ...that Russell is so plastic and unemotional in her performance, I actually felt bad for the other actors who were wonderful

See it if You are a big fan of Adam Driver or Keri Russell.

Don't see it if The thought of a 2.5 hour play is too much.

See it if you want to see a strong performance of a contemporary classic. Well-performed, well-staged, surprisingly easy to fit in a 2019 world.

Don't see it if you want a straight-up comedy.

Also The performances are, largely, solid. However, some actors (Driver) come in at 200mph, and that adds some big waves that the play struggles to sail through tonally - but by act 2, he really found a more engaging, balanced version of his act 1 impulses. The director's strong skill, and actor's strong comfort, with comedy shows and helps some moments truly shine.... Read more Read less

See it if See it if you are a big fan of Keri Russell, Adam Driver, or Brandon Uranowitz. They were all great. I went mostly to see Keri Russel live.

Don't see it if Adam’s character was funny but very unlikable. I had a hard time understanding why Keri’s character would fall for him.
