      After the collapse of civilisation, a group of survivors gather and begin to piece together the plot of "The Simpsons" episode "Cape Feare" entirely from memory. 7 years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles, and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created. A paean to live theatre and the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.

      CONTENT WARNING: Violence, firearms, weaponry, climate anxiety, depictions of death, descriptions of nuclear apocalypse, homicide, homercide. Some parts of the play are performed in near darkness with moving/flashing light sources. This play is recommended for mature audiences.
