Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play

#4 Best American Play since Angels in America” – New York Times, 2018

By Anne Washburn

Music By Michael Friedman

Lyrics By Anne Washburn

Directed By: Michael Smith-Gallo

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. 7 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. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created.
