Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn
MR. BURNS, A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY by Anne Washburn
July 30-August 8
Ben Brantley of the New York Times hails Anne Washburn’s new play, “Downright brilliant! When was the last time you met a new play that was so smart it made your head spin?” In a post-apocalyptic world a group of strangers pass the time attempting to retell the infamous CAPE FEARE episode from THE SIMPSONS. Flash forward seven years to a theatre company doing the same thing. Flash forward 75 years to a story told with Homer and Marge as a pop culture inspiration for a new kind of theatre – where one mythology evolves into another. Join us for a play unlike anything you have ever seen – “scary, sweet and funny.” (Time Magazine).
