MR. BURNS A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY is not a production that will please everyone, nor is it meant to be. It can be obtuse, is overly long, and too reference specific. If you are a “The Simpsons” fan, it will help you to understand the images to which the author is referring. For the rest, it could be the basis for a discussion, an attempt to determine what Anne Washburn is trying to tell, and an adventure into the post-apocalyptic future.

theater that some will rave about and others will rave at as it flies over
their heads. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
