Press Reviews

"A perfect production that left me with my heart in my mouth."

— Time Out New York

"That the playwright makes this garrulous, opinionated crew so engaging – and their concerns so relevant – is a mark of his considerable imagination and empathy."

— Lighting & Sound America

"The sneaky, simple brilliance of Heroes of the Fourth Turning is that it's not actually about its characters' talking points at all. It's about them. It's not shouting; it's listening."

— Vulture
