Omar Khan with support from Derby Theatre presents

Mr Burns

Fri 14 - Sat 15 Jul, 2023 Archive
The not-too-distant future. Society has collapsed. A group of survivors have gathered around a fire, and are attempting to piece together an episode of The Simpsons from memory.

What follows is a journey spanning nearly a century, exploring how humanity attempts to rebuild civilisation in a post-apocalyptic world.

Mr Burns blurs the lines between pop culture, art and mythology. A dark comedy that serves as a love letter to theatre, and – of course – The Simpsons.

POST SHOW Q&A

Saturday evening’s performance of ‘Mr Burns‘ will feature a post-show Q&A with the creative team exploring environmental sustainability in theatre, and themes from the piece related to the climate crisis.
The talk is FREE and open to everyone who has purchased a ticket and will last around 20 minutes.
