Heroes of the Fourth Turning
Advertisement
Two days after Election Day, pull up a chair and eavesdrop on America's divide.
It's August 2017, one week after Charlottesville. Four young conservatives stay up late in a Wyoming backyard after a party honoring their mentor. As the whiskey runs out and the night gets colder, they turn on each other and on what they believe.
Will Arbery's "Heroes of the Fourth Turning" was a 2020 Pulitzer Prize finalist and won the Obie, Lortel and New York Drama Critics' Circle awards. Critics on the left and the right both loved it: The New Yorker called it "subtly horrifying," and The American Conservative called it "breathtaking."
Our staging puts you an arm's length from the actors, as silent guests at the party.
