Heroes of the Fourth Turning

Turning this fall, the Pulitzer Prize finalist play written by Succession writer Will Arbery.

Winner of the 2020 Obie Award for Playwriting, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, the Whiting Award for Drama, and the New York Drama Critics Circle award for Best Play, the riveting and witty Heroes of the Fourth Turning, has been hailed as “a work of singular distinction, for which the word ‘remarkable’ is, if anything, an understatement” by The Wall Street Journal, and “an astonishing new play” by The New York Times.

On a chilly night in the middle of America, one week after the Charlottesville riots in 2017, four alumni gather to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of their conservative catholic college. A daring look at the heart of a country at war with itself, the evening begins innocently enough. As the party stretches late into the night, their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos, clashing politics, and stunning revelations as they furiously grapple with their beliefs and sense of personal responsibility.

In keeping with The Howland Company’s history of vibrant, award-winning acting ensembles, the cast of Heroes of the Fourth Turning stars Mac Fyfe and Maria Ricossa and Howland Members Ruth Goodwin, Cameron Laurie and Hallie Seline.

Playwright and filmmaker Will Arbery has also written Corsicana, Plano, Evanston Salt Costs Climbing, and more; he was a writer and producer on HBO’s hit Succession, and is currently under commission from Audible, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Playwright Horizons.
