Now Playing! Off-Broadway world premiere by Anne Washburn. Directed by Steve Cosson and co-produced by The Vineyard Theatre and The Civilians. (10/23/25-11/30/25)
“Somewhere in foggy Northern California, an intentional community tries to live off the land and keep an unsteady world at bay. But when one of their own dies unexpectedly, ideals are tested and faith in their independence is rocked. The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire is a tender, funny, probing story about a death, a pageant, a rescue, a resurrection, pigs, and the act of saying grace. The kids may not be all right.
This world-premiere play reunites renowned playwright Anne Washburn and Obie-Award winning director Steve Cosson, following their acclaimed collaborations on Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play (“downright brilliant”, NYT) and A Devil at Noon.”
