Written by Ensemble Member Levi Holloway Featuring Ensemble Members Michael Shannon & Travis A. Knight Performance Dates: April 25-June 16, 2024 Press Performances: May 4, 2024 World Premiere! Two men survive in a facility deep underground somewhere in the wild woods of the Pacific Northwest, hiding away from something terrible looming just outside. Ensnared in a relentless loop of endless tomorrows, they discover the wolf isn’t at the door, he’s already inside, waiting in the creeping darkness all around them. Turret is an excavation of masculinity, love, loss and isolation. A claustrophobic carnival of carnage, carrier pigeons, cribbage, whiskey, music, mischief and mayhem.
