In Performance: Matthew Maher of ‘Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play’

Anne Washburn’s generation-spanning “Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play” imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which an episode of “The Simpsons” becomes a piece of cultural mythology. In this scene from the first act, set around a fire in the woods with a group of survivors, Matt (Matthew Maher) tries to recall details from the “Cape Feare” episode of “The Simpsons.” The show continues through Oct. 20 at Playwrights Horizons.

Recent videos in this series include Joe Manganiello as Stanley Kowalski in the Yale Repertory Theater revival of Tennessee Williams’s 1947 drama “A Streetcar Named Desire,” and Hallie Foote in a scene from the Signature Theater production of “The Old Friends,” a family drama written by her father, the playwright Horton Foote.

Coming soon: Norbert Leo Butz sings a number from the new Broadway musical “Big Fish.”
