Evanston Salt Costs Climbing

Will Arbery, whose exceptional Heroes of the Fourth Turning was the best new play of 2019, takes what is sure to be an off-angle look at climate change in a work that focuses on a pair of salt-truck drivers in a suburb of Chicago. Expect a wintry mix of surreal humor and dread. Danya Taymor directs the local premiere for the New Group; Jeb Kreager and Ken Leung play the drivers, with Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Rachel Sachnoff rounding out the cast.
