About the show
August Strindberg Repertory Theatre presents the story of a dyer of fabrics whose house has burned down, and the mystery that surrounds the fire. More…
In the cinders of a burned home, secrets are buried that are about to come to light. It's a neighborhood where everybody hates, suspects, double-crosses and torments each other.

'Burnt House' delves into the theme of coming home, with the message that you can run away from your problems, but eventually you will have to face your demons.
