MCT's Rapture, Blister, Burn

Gina Gionfriddo's biting comedy about feminism, choices, and love was a Pulitzer Prize finalist that the New York Times called "intensely smart and immensely funny," and caused Variety to hail her as a “genius.” After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other’s life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs – the prize being Gwen’s husband. Meanwhile the witty and wry student Avery wonders whether she has more in common with Catherine's aging mother than any of today's modern feminists. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th-century feminist ideals.
The show is rated PG-13 for strong language and adult themes.
