BHHS Production 2025 - Mr Burns, A Post Electric Play

About
What will endure when disaster strikes -- when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we're faced with the task of rebuilding? Is it... The Simpsons?Written by Anne Washburn, 'Mr Burns, A Post Electric Play' explores exactly this. After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors begin to piece together the plot of "The Simpsons" episode "Cape Feare" entirely from memory. 7 years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society trying to hold onto its past. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created.
Box Hill High School proudly presents this exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another. Come along and support our students who have been working incredibly hard.
Tickets only available online. Content warning: gun use, discussion of nuclear apocalypse, frequent Simpsons' quotes.
