Heroes of the Fourth Turning

The Canadian Premiere of HBO’s Succession writer Will Arbery’s haunting, Pulitzer Prize finalist play HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING, directed by Philip Akin, co-produced by The Howland Company and Crow’s Theatre this Fall.

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

Winner of the 2020 Obie Award for Playwriting 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” (The Wall Street Journal).
