Portland Playhouse Takes On 'The Simpsons' -- And The Apocalypse

What has four fingers, a yellow face, and is totally evil?Montgomery Burns, of course.But after twenty-six excellent years as America's most laughably despicable super villain, Mr. Burns' character is facing a big shakeup. Harry Shearer, the voice of Mr. Burns (as well as Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, and others) announced this week that he's leaving "The Simpsons."It's a sad day for Simpsons' fans – but the ripples go far beyond TV. Shearer's portrayal of Mr. Burns was so iconic that it even played a role in the development of a play. It's called “Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play,” and you can find it onstage at Portland Playhouse this spring. Though the play draws its title from "The Simpsons," the show's comedic namesake is outweighed by the attention it gives to darker subject matter. The show starts with a group of friends around a campfire. They're hanging out, drinking beers, and trying to remember the details of a Simpsons episode called Cape Feare. It's utterly pedestrian – until an unexpected noise in the background prompts the cast to draw guns and knives.“The conceit of the play,” says director Brian Weaver, “is that it's a post-electric world.”Post-electric and post-apocalyptic. Somehow, and the playwright leaves it to her audience to fill in the blanks, 99% of the human population has died off. With no one left to man the nuclear power plants, they've all melted down, making electricity a thing of the past. So humanity – or what's left of it anyway – is back to good old-fashioned flint and tinder (and not the ‘swipe right' kind). They make fires, and they do what humans have pretty much always done around the fire: they tell stories.“It's a play about how we use stories,” says playwright Anne Washburn, “how we use stories to divert us, how we use stories to comfort us, how we use stories to explain things to us, how we use stories to talk about things which it's too frightening to speak about directly.”Read our full story: www.opb.org/radio/programs/state-of-wonder/article/portland-playhouse-takes-on-the-simpsons-and-the-apocalypse/
