SUMMARY:Mr. Burns: a Post-Electric Play
CONTACT:Stephan Carpenter\, 5028527682\, email:sbcarp03@louisville.edu
DESCRIPTION:Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy – a play with music
  featuring songs by Washburn and Michael Friedman – propels us forward n
 early a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future.\n
 \nAfter the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfir
 e and begin to piece together the plot of The Simpsons episode “Cape Fea
 re” entirely from memory. Seven 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. Seventy-five years later, these are the myths and leg
 ends from which new forms of performance are created.\n\nA paean to live t
 heater, 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 int
 o the mythology of another.
