Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play

Lighting Design

The University of Iowa | Mabie Theatre | February 2017

Mr. Burns, a post-electric play is a show that asks “If all the lights were to go out tomorrow, what would we remember? What about seven years from now? What about seventy-five?” Set directly after a nuclear apocalypse, Mr. Burns answers these questions over three acts. These acts get progressively more heightened in tone until we are transported from a gritty, realistic portrait of survival to a grotesque new form of opera the likes of which we have never seen.

Book and Lyrics: Anne Washburn

Score: Michael Friedman

Director: Tlaloc Rivas

Scenic Designer: Nic Wilson

Costume Designer: Brittany Dee Bodley
