4.07pm, September 6, 1901 - Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition. William McKinley, twenty-fifth president of the United States, turns to greet Leon Czolgosz. Two shots ring out. America wakes up to a new century through an act of blood. Eric Schlosser's first play powerfully dissects a tipping point in American history, the moment when the United States broke from tradition and chose the path of empire.
