"Undoubtedly moving... a masterwork of small intricacies."

The New York Times

"In HANG TIME, lynched men tell finely tuned tales... Zora Howard’s new play catches three men during a few moments of their breathless eternity."

The New York Times

"A bruising statement about the systemized dehumanization of Black men... a stunning picture of the ‘strange fruit’ that Billie Holiday sang about, of Black bodies swinging from trees... The writing is bleak and colorful and gorgeous enough for poetry."

Lighting & Sound American

"A startling and stunning tableau... an absolutely heart-wrenching and hauntingly beautiful experience."

The Front Row Center

"In terms of its words, HANG TIME, by Zora Howard, is a very subtle play. Its language is rich, and the themes that its characters usher forth chime suggestively, like harsh but precisely rung bells, never quite settling on a resolution. Its imagery, however, is awful and overt: even before the show starts, as the audience files in, three Black men are hanging in midair, their legs dangling, the motion of their bodies almost stilled."

The New Yorker

"A powerfully evocative performance piece... HANG TIME is filled with the magic of theatre."
