What could easily have been a bloviating political tirade against liberals becomes - with the aid of magical realism and the possibility that possession lurks within us all - a truly thoughtful dialogue of four soul-searching Christians in the middle of our Fourth Turning. Emily - crippled by, we assume, Lyme Disease, but it rightfully remains a mystery - is not so reverent towards mom. To honor the revered educator’s new position, ex-students war-mongering Teresa (Ash Malloy), Kevin (Josh Schell) and Justin (Johnny Moreno) and Gina’s daughter Emily (Wera von Wulfen) have gathered in the forested backyard of Justin’s rustic Wyoming cabin for a reunion - one which happens to be on the heels of a white-supremacist riot in Charlottesville. In Heroes of the Fourth Turning at the San Francisco Playhouse through March 5, we have a teacher (Susi Damilano as Gina) at a Wyoming Catholic college who has just been made its president. These happen to be Catholics, yes, but they do grapple with their choices (one character states that he vomited after voting for Trump). While characters may debate the role of conservatism in their lives, this is a play about people who are trying to make sense of the system into which they were born: Christian Conservatism in America.
