'Brilliant and sad and audacious and bonkers. I loved it.' Maggie O'FarrellMeet Lynette - actor, writer, director, showrunner. It's her birthday. She's waking up in a hotel room, hungover, in a dreary English seaside town. Outside are grey skies, crazy golf, a row of Border Defense huts.She hasn't worked in a while (she hasn't been very well). But maybe you recognize her from that television drama that ran and ran? She is about to star in her final movie in her head. But is it a farce, a comedy, a tragedy - or just her life? Knowing Lynette, she won't go gently into that good night. 'Burn and Rave swerves around the bends of the human heart, and then miraculously delivers you home. It left me inspired, consoled, and thankful.' Samantha Harvey
