Mr. Burns: a post-electric play
This play is a darkly comedic exploration of how pop culture and storytelling evolve in a post-apocalyptic world. Set in a world where electricity is scarce and society has collapsed, a group of survivors gathers around a campfire to recount an episode of The Simpsons. As time passes, the story evolves and is retold, ultimately becoming a mythical tale that serves as the foundation of a new civilization. This inventive and thought-provoking play examines the power of shared cultural references and the enduring nature of storytelling.
