Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play at Lyric Stage Company of Boston

In the world depicted in Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, Armageddon has struck and the planet's electrical grid is down -- there's no TV, no radio, no internet, no gadgets and no gizmos. But fear not, as one group of tenacious survivors remembers enough episodes of The Simpsons and the last 10 years of pop hits to birth to a new industry: crude theatrical recreations of now-gone digital entertainment. Penned by Anne Washburn (A Devil at Noon), Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play was dubbed "downright brilliant" by the New York Times and received a Washington Post Editors' Pick. Lyric Stage Company of Boston presents this original and vibrant post-apocalyptic tale of survival, passion and the enduring power of Bart Simpson.
