What happens to the stories we tell when the world as we know it disappears? Anne Washburn’s bold and inventive Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play imagines a future where survivors of civilization’s collapse gather around a campfire, reconstructing a familiar television episode from memory. Blending dark comedy, pop culture and theatrical spectacle, the play explores how shared stories evolve into mythology over time.

Presented by the Dava White Endowed Theatre Department Production Fund.

Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
