| Synopsis: | A social and political commentary, 61 Dead Men follows Haml, an artist who feels as if he cannot do enough simply by creating. To instill change in a world gone wrong he turns to destruction. Haml soon finds himself lost in a downward spiral of his own hubris. 61 Dead Men follows the tradition of Shakespeare and Aristotle, adapting the tragic formula that has made Hamlet and Macbeth timeless classics. 61 Dead Men is an improv tragedy developed by Janus Surratt: an improv veteran, Second City Conservatory graduate, and founder of NewFormat Improvisation. Surratts aim is to develop improvised formats that push the limits of commonplace improvisation, placing it within the realm of a true art form. 61 Dead Men asks the question: what is needed to create change in our world?
