New York City
Men of Steel weaves together four modern-day morality tales using the archetypes of superheroes and vigilantes. In a piece that turns the great superhero capers of our youth on their heads, Men of Steel follows the stories of five crusaders who aspire for heroism against all odds only to be left with the harsh realities of the world around them. Included are tales of a superhero who loses control of his powers in the face of personal tragedy, a pair of brothers who strive to protect the innocent but fail to see the horrendous trespasses right in front of them, a man who holds great power but lacks assurance in his own abilities, and a man whose quest for meaning unleashes great evil.
