A new show has opened in Auckland, and it’s based on The Simpsons.
Called Mr Burns, the Silo Theatre play features some well-known Kiwi performers, such as Ana Scotney from The Breaker Upperers and Joel Tobeck whose list of work includes Sons of Anarchy and Shortland Street.
Written by Anne Washburn, the story begins with an untold apocalyptic event, and how the recollection of the famous Simpsons episode Cape Feare – where Sideshow Bob tries to kill Bart – helps bind those left alive.
