A failed grid. A society that has crumbled. And a post-apocalyptic world that needs rebuilding. Sound familiar? Ten years after its iconic New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons, the original cast of Mr. Burns, a post-electric play, reunites with playwright Anne Washburn and director Steve Cosson for two nights only! A celebration of live theater, and a toast to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns explores how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.

DOWNRIGHT BRILLIANT. When was the last time you met a new play that was so smart it made your head spin? Get ready to reel, New York. Anne Washburn’s "Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play" has arrived to leave you dizzy with the scope and dazzle of its ideas. With grand assurance and artistry, Ms. Washburn makes us appreciate a new the profound value of storytelling in and of itself, and makes a case for theater as the most glorious and durable storyteller of all. I LOOK FORWARD TO REMEMBERING IT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
