Mr. Burns, a post-electric play by Anne Washburn

Mr. Burns, a post-electric play by Anne Washburn

Presented by Mary Moody Northen Theatre at Mary Moody Northen Theatre

“Downright brilliant! When was the last time you met a new play that was so smart it made your head spin?”  – The New York Times

“The play is both scary and sweet, funny but deadly serious, unique and wonderfully theatrical.”  – Time Magazine

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. Seventy-five years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performances are created. Anne Washburn’s hilarious and thought-provoking comedy features Equity guests Jill Blackwood and Marc Pouhé.

“Get in line ASAP…. One of the most affecting tributes to theatre and tenacity you’re likely to see all year.”   –  The New York Post
