Joss and Wayne talk with the Lydia Kuelson, writer, producer and actor about their awesome two-person show, “Burn It”

Two queers. Camping. Post traumatic break-up.
Do they engage in wholesome, healthy processing? Or drinking, denial and making fun of trauma?

This dark, comedic play explores mental illness, abuse, unrequited love, and the complications of a friendship that acts more like a relationship. But it’s funny, we promise.

“A show that is both incredibly uncomfortable at times and ridiculously funny.” Australian Stage

“Raw and powerfully emotional.” The Theatre AU

Created by an entirely queer team and written with all gender non-specific characters. The show is shaped differently by different actors and has been restaged with a non-binary, AFAB duo after it’s 2023 premiere showcasing a masc and fem-presenting cast.

Director: Jacqui Martin
Cast: Stevie McKeon, Lydia Kuelsen
Writer and Producer: Lydia Kuelsen

Presented by Lydia Kuelsen
