About the Show
"One of the funniest and most buzzed-about long-form shows in the nation."
-Time Out New York
"A two-man improv fantasia... gravitas comes with the duo's quick-witted play."
-The A.V. Club
On July 11, 1804, the most infamous duel in American history was fought. The rivals were Alexander Hamilton, former Secretary of Treasury of the United States, and Aaron Burr, Vice President of the United States.
In Code Duello, Boston improvisers Neil Reynolds & Matt Tucker don the wigs and waistcoats of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Together they recreate the greatest rivalry in American History, unscripted and uninhibited by historical accuracy.
