"You know that one episode of The Simpsons ..." 

How many conversations have you been in where someone can always bring it back to The Simpsons ?

The cultural reference point takes it to the next level in this outstanding new play. Hailed by the New York Times as one of the Top Ten Plays of 2013 and “downright brilliant,” Mr. Burns is a post-apocalyptic tale when survivors must begin again and bond together to create a new society.
