Description

Mr Burns, a play by Anne Washburn, challenges dramatic form and the nature of theatre as storytelling. In this bleak yet wonderful exploration, the boundaries between pop and high culture are exploded.

The end of everything in contemporary America is imagined, where power has ceased to exist. But what will survive? This delightfully bizarre and funny play asks how the stories we tell make us the people we are, and envisions a future for America's most famous family.

Published for the first time in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features a new introduction by Charlotte Higgins. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in theatre and its role in society.
