About the Play
Mr. Burns is a riveting, wildly funny and dangerous examination of the persistence of capitalism and the power of storytelling. Act one opens shortly after a global nuclear collapse with a group of survivors around a campfire recalling and retelling "Cape Feare", an episode of the TV show The Simpsons. Act two examines the way the story has changed seven years later, until finally, seventy-five years pass to elevate this staple of American pop-culture to a familiar myth.
