It's time for our weekly conversation with theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins Tom today with a review of Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, a post-apocalyptic fantasy in three acts by playwright Anne Washburn, being produced by Cohesion Theatre Company at ----The Fallout Shelter---- at Baltimore's United Evangelical ChurchThe play asks a series of questions: What happens to pop culture after the fall of human civilization? What about 7 years after the fall? Or even 75 years?Mr. Burns runs those scenarios out over three time-shifting acts. When nuclear power plants across the country begin to “go up,” a group of survivors gather in the woods and begin to recount an episode of The Simpsons. As Cohesion Theatre Company's program describers it, ----casual storytelling evolves into theater, theater evolves into ritual, and one Simpsons episode evolves into a myth and legend for a post-apocalyptic world.----Cohesion Theatre Company's Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, directed by Lance Bankerd, continues at ----The Fallout Shelter---- at United Evangelical Church , located at 923 S. East Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21224, until December 17th. For ticket and location info, click here.
