WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Architect Edward Braff dangles by his neck in midair. His dreams of completing a dazzling cathedral leave him caught, literally, between heaven and hell. Amid a kind of architectural purgatory of raw beams, columns, and flapping ropes, a peculiar troupe of performers launches into marvelous riffs on a single story--his story: the story of the Hanging Man, his unrealized potential, and the hopeless and hilarious struggle to earn his death.
Medieval and modern, ridiculous and raw, The Hanging Man's bitter-sweet-bitter tale is conceived and realized by London's aptly named Improbable Theatre, a troupe widely recognized as one of the most original voices at work on the international stage.
A co-production with The West Yorkshire Playhouse, Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University, the Walker Art Center, The Lyric Hammersmith, and the Wiener Festwochen. Produced in assocaition with Pomegranate Arts.

On the strength of their growing list of inventive pieces, Improbable Theatre co-artistic directors Phelim McDermott, Lee Simpson, and Julian Crouch have to be considered among the most reliable creators of rewarding entertainment currently scanning their brains for fertile ideas and bringing them to eye-catching and ear-tickling fruition. To date, they're known here primarily for 70 Hill Lane and the mockingly sinister Shockheaded Peter. (Apparently, Simpson sat out the latter entry.) Now they'll also be celebrated for the thoroughly delightful and provocative The Hanging Man.
Because improvisation is one of the company's guiding procedures, it naturally follows that The Hanging Man's cas[...]
