“Every story ends on a dark and raging river.”

Four strangers around a fire try to piece together a tale from before the fall of humanity. What follows is the 82 year evolution of a story from pop culture to sacred myth. There will be singing and dancing and guns and shooting and fire and poison and Sideshow Bob and a chorus of ghosts and a rabid, violent cat and mouse duo and crocodiles and piranhas and darkness and devastation. But when all hope is lost, there will be Bart.

From the producers of Dr. Frightful Presents: and Aiden Flynn Lost His Brother So He Makes Another: Mr. Burns, a post electric play, is an apocalyptic epic that asks: How can the stories of America’s most famous family usher humanity into a new era?

“Mr. Burns, a post-electric play” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
