In interviews, Dinkova discusses her approach to Anne Washburn's play, which imagines survivors of a catastrophe rebuilding culture around episodes of The Simpsons. She speaks about the work's themes of storytelling, memory and resilience, and why the darkly comic piece resonates with audiences facing an uncertain present.
