Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play

By Anne Washburn

Score by Michael Friedman

Lyrics by Anne Washburn

Philip Lynch Theatre

November 10-19, 2017

After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of The Simpsons episode "Cape Feare" entirely from memory. Seven years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles, and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. Seventy-five years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created.
