Description
Pulitzer Prize finalist Zora Howard’s subversive and moving play takes a sharp look at racialised violence in America.
Three Black men hang from an old, wide tree. Caught together in this liminal space, they shoot the breeze, sharing the great loves and bitter blues of their interrupted lives.
The directorial debut of Pulitzer Prize finalist Zora Howard, HANG TIME is a gut-wrenching, subversive perspective on the legacy of racialised violence in America. Sharply juxtaposing the romantic and the macabre, the ‘finely-tuned’ dialogue (The New York Times) is peppered with heartbreaking missed opportunities and tinged with dark humour.
