Signature Stories: Christine Jones and Dallas Roberts from Signature Theatre Company on Vimeo.



Set designer Christine Jones and actor Dallas Roberts share the story of how they fell in love during Signature Theatre's production of BURN THIS, turning the tragic story of Robbie into an off-stage romance.

BURN THIS begins shortly after the funeral of Robbie, a young gay dancer who drowned in a boating accident. In attendance were his roommates: choreographer Anna and ad man Larry. Soon joining them in Robbie's lower-Manhattan loft are screenwriter Burton (Anna's longtime lover), and Pale (Robbie's coke-snorting, hyperactive restaurant manager brother). In the face of their shared tragedy, the quartet attempts to make sense of their lives and reconsider their own identities and relationships.

BURN THIS by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson played Signature Theatre in the fall of 2002.
