Playwright Anne Washburn recently announced a film adaptation of her most notable work, Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, directed by Sorry to Bother You director Boots Riley, which Riley confirmed on social media. Then, in Act Two, we jump ahead seven years and follow a troupe of actors as they tour a production of this and other Simpsons stories, Station-Eleven-style. Boots Riley is developing a feature film adaptation of Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play. The play poses an interesting question about modern pop culture: centuries from now, what will be remembered about today? In the shorter term, Mr. Burns is a play about theater, so it will be interesting to see how it translates to the screen.
