The electric grid has failed, society has crumbled, and, to stave off the darkness, a group of survivors gathers around a fire and recreate their fallen world through the brave act of storytelling. Out of the darkness, they find connection and, with that, light as they piece together a new society from the memories of what’s been lost. A testament to human resilience and a love letter to live theater with music, spectacle and an unlikely hero (named Bart.) MR BURNS is a bold, touching, innovative dramatic experience that celebrates the human spirit and the necessity of telling stories in the dark.
hen an announcement in the local paper states that a murder is to be committed at Miss Letitia Blacklock’s home, Little Paddocks, that same evening at 6:30 pm, the household is sent into a frenzy. Soon neighbors come calling to see what the fuss is all about and the entire village is pulled into the danger that awaits. Who is to be murdered? And by whom? Is everyone in the village exactly who they say they are? Might some of them have ulterior motives? Luckily, Agatha Christie’s plucky busybody of a detective, Miss Jane Marple is on hand to provide the solution -- but perhaps not without great risk to herself!
