JCC MetroWest presents, Rachel Beanland, “The House Is On Fire”
Told from the perspectives of four people whose actions changed the course of history, this masterful work of historical fiction takes readers back to 1811 Richmond, Virginia, where, on the night after Christmas, the city’s only theater burned to the ground in the middle of a performance, tearing apart a community. These four pivotal characters, all somehow connected to the theater, make a series of split-second decisions that will not only affect their own lives but those of countless others. And in the days following the fire, as news of the disaster spreads across the United States, the paths of these four people will become forever intertwined.
