HANG TIME is a subversive play directed by Zora Howard that addresses the legacy of racialized violence in America. Set in a haunting liminal space, it follows three Black men as they navigate themes of love, loss, and the interruptions that shape their lives. The production brings a poignant reflection on the complexities of identity and existence against a backdrop of societal unrest. It is part of the 2026 Edinburgh International Festival.
