Mr. Burns, a post-electric play

One of my favorite on-a-whim discoveries in a minute, as soon as I caught the basic premise of this play I knew I was gonna be a sucker for this. I ended up watching a super charming lil high school performance of this on youtube while following the text and I quite loved my time with this work. I think this play is definitely flawed, it spends time on some extraneous details of this world while hardly mentioning others; just a very uneven work. However, it is such an unabashed execution of an incredible concept that it warrants its flowers. It is just as grisly and bewildering as it is beaming with great hope for today's culture, the footprint of our current slice of the boundless history of the earth, in the face of the absurd. I love Washburn's tight control of dialogue, and I'll certainly need to check out more of her work. :D
