Next Stage Arts presents Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning journalist Tim Weiner on Sunday, September 21, at 7:00 PM at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill in Putney. Doors open at 6:15 PM. Tickets are $10, available at nextstagearts.org.
Weiner, acclaimed author of Legacy of Ashes, returns with his explosive new work The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century, a New York Times bestseller. Drawing from exclusive on-the-record interviews with CIA directors, spymasters, and undercover officers, Weiner reveals the high-stakes battles shaping America’s intelligence community today—at a time of escalating conflicts between the White House, U.S. intelligence, the press, and free speech itself.
Critics have hailed The Mission as “riveting” (Associated Press), “poignant” (New York Times), and “deserving of a second Pulitzer” (The Guardian).
Weiner has spent decades reporting on intelligence and national security, earning both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. He and his wife, human-rights expert Kate Doyle, have been restoring an abandoned house in Putney since 2022.
This rare opportunity to hear one of America’s most respected investigative journalists promises to be a timely and eye-opening evening.
