Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play (The Michael Friedman Collection) [World Premiere Recording]
What will endure when the cataclysm arrives, the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? With a script and lyrics by Anne Washburn and Michael Friedman’s “songs of horror and resilience” (The Village Voice), this imaginative dark comedy propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. A paean to live theater, and to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.
Originally commissioned The Civilians, Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play premiered at Washington
D.C.’s Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in 2012 and in New York at Playwrights Horizons in
2013, both directed by The Civilians’ Artistic Director, Steve Cosson.
