In a not-so-distant future, after the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors sit around a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of their favorite Simpsons episode entirely from memory. As they recreate their faded world through the act of storytelling, they discover how the pop culture of one generation can develop into the mythology of the next. In Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy, we follow this crew seven years into the future as they begin to create a new entertainment landscape made from pop culture they remember from the before times. MR. BURNS, A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY is a hilarious and poignant exploration of nostalgia, the magic of live theater, and the lasting power of The Simpsons.

A hilarious uproar of arguments from Ibsen’s classic are brought to life in Lucas Hnath’s contemporary sequel to the revolutionary masterpiece. No fear to those who have never read Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House”. This is not a requirement to appreciate the bitingly funny theatrical genius of A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2. As a door slams, a young wife leaves behind the shackles of traditional societal constraints. Now, 15 years later, that same door opens to reveal Nora, a changed woman with a favor to ask of the people she abandoned. Much like our own, in Nora’s world, behind every judgment there is a person, and a slammed door isn’t an ending so much as an opportunity for a fresh start.
