What are we left with when we are left with nothing? Anne Washburn's unforgettable new work, Mr Burns, a Post-Electric play provides a dazzling and panoramic vista on the power of storytelling. Mr Burns is a meta-apocalyptic comedy/drama/musical about America rebuilding itself from the ashes of an apocalypse, a tale of the enduring power of Bart Simpson and how we can all rediscover our humanity through the most unlikely agency.
