You Cannot Look Away
There isn’t a happy ending. The playwright doesn’t offer a single resolution. There’s no intermission to give the theatergoer a break in the play’s heavy sensory overload. Running for an uninterrupted two hours, Will Arbery’s one-act drama, which opens A Red Orchid Theatre’s 34th season, is performed with honesty and earnestness by a very talented cast. This Chicago premiere is dynamically directed by dado, a familiar face at A Red Orchid Theatre. During the course of this politically charged drama, five diverse characters each equally demand our attention. They never let the audience off the hook, bombarding the theatergoer with their individual viewpoints, physical and emotional traumas and their need for understanding and concern. It’s true that often a theatergoer will attend a production that asks the audience to relax, sit back and enjoy it. This play instead wants you to lean forward, think and engage. HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING is the kind of play where the audience will not be able to look away.
