It’s nearing midnight in Wyoming, where four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party. They’ve returned from their disparate lives to toast their mentor at a tiny Catholic university. As the former classmates grapple with ideology and politics, we get a glimpse into the nuances of conservatism in today’s America. Opening a window to a world rarely seen onstage, Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.
