Synopsis

Assassins is a dark, surreal revue tracking men and women who killed or attempted to kill a U.S. President. Driven by loneliness and political delusion, each believes violence will force the world to notice them.

At its heart, the musical is a provocative dissection of the American Dream. It explores how systemic isolation and a warped demand for validation can drive desperate people to commit unthinkable acts.

This extract will include acting and singing with minimal dance.
