Will Arbery's play, Heroes of the Fourth Turning, set in a conservative Catholic college in Wyoming, explores the reunion of four friends grappling with their faith and political beliefs during the onset of Trump's presidency. The characters reflect on their education grounded in Great Books and conservative theology. The narrative is underpinned by a pop-sociological view of history as a cyclical journey of destruction and renewal, resonating deeply amidst contemporary crises. This unique production was staged digitally during COVID-19, following strict health protocols.
"It's destruction, it's revolution, it's war... And it's right now. The national identity crisis caused by Obama."
