We’ve come to New York to follow election day in the state where both candidates currently live. The eyes of the world are on New York City this week with both teams in town, but only one can win. This election has widened the divide in America and we find ourselves asking the same tiresome question we've been asking since June 24th; how do we bridge that divide?   Fear & Loathing is a transatlantic quest across a divided political landscape. We’re travelling around the UK and along the US Presidential Election campaign trail listening to voters, journalists and politicians. Inspired by Hunter S Thompson’s 1972 campaign diaries, we are confronting the West’s burgeoning nationalism, examining what has brought us here and where we are heading. Our research will be used to create Squint’s 2017 production, Fear & Loathing. Follow our journey @squinttheatre.

We’ve come to Colorado to discover whether the tensions created in the UK by the Brexit debate are being mirrored here during this divisive election. To what extent are people sharing and debating their political views? When should politics be left at the door? And where are the local forums for conversation in a divided America?

We've come to the unlikely battleground state of Arizona in the week that the Clinton campaign have focused their resources here in an attempt to turn it blue for the first time since 1948. Are the pockets of liberalism cropping up across Arizona an anomaly or a sign of more liberal things to come?

We've come to Texas to understand the loyalty many people here feel towards the GOP. Texas is one of the most Republican states in the US. So what's important to people here? How does it inform the way they vote? And what's the cost of living in a state dominated by a single party?

This US Election appears to be being propelled by fear. We've come to Pennsylvania to discover the hope that prevails in the minds of some Trump voters here. What do voters in Pennsylvania need? Why do they feel the establishment is failing them? And what hope is Trump offering?
