MR BURNS: A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY

Lakeside Theatre (University of Essex)

Synopsis

“…and if you think God or fate, fortune or any assortment of sentimental some such rescued you oh my delightful little charmer, what a savage surprise is the rest of your life going to be.” A not-so-distant future. The grid has failed. Society has crumbled. Enter our heroes; a group of survivors recreating their long-gone world, telling long forgotten stories…of Bart Simpson. A love letter to live theatre and to the resilience of the Simpsons through the ages, Ann Washburn’s “Mr. Burns” is a comic and unique exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.
