In playwright Gina Gionfriddo's Rapture, Blister, Burn, the subject matter of life choices is offered up in a thought-provoking and hilarious dark comedy that includes three generations' takes on women's issues. Capital Stage's Shannon Mahoney, in her directorial debut, expertly guides her gifted cast through this Pulitzer-Prize-finalist play that includes fascinating examinations of gender politics issues as well as drink-infused conversations and escapades. Be prepared to have great discussions and debates afterward. P.R.
