  3. Mr. Burns: a post-electric play


Civilization has come to an end. The grid has failed and a few survivors are left to rebuild. We find them shortly after the cataclysm attempting to remember the details of an episode of The Simpsons. From this unlikely jumping-off point, we watch the transformation of iconic pop culture into mythology as we spring forward seven years and then seventy-five.

This evocative, funny, and genre-bending play asks important questions about the value of live theatre and the nature of culture and myth in society. At once bravely intelligent and irreverently accessible, this fantasia on the resilience of the human need to tell stories will be one of the most talked-about theatrical events of the season.

When I was visiting the Sistine Chapel several decades ago, an elderly American couple walked up to me and said, 'We don't understand any of this. Can you explain it to us?' So, I toured these two tourists, complete strangers, around Michelangelo's masterpiece, describing everything from the Creation of Man to the Drunkenness of Noah.
