About This Event

Pulitzer Prize finalist Zora Howard makes her directorial debut with *HANG TIME*, a play that confronts racialised violence in America with unflinching clarity. The action unfolds beneath an ancient, wide tree, where three Black men hang suspended in a liminal space, sharing the loves and regrets of lives abruptly interrupted. Howard’s script balances gut-wrenching tension with moments of sharp, tender intimacy, as the characters shoot the breeze and reckon with their fates. The Royal Lyceum Edinburgh hosts this production on 20 August 2026 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival. Ticket prices are available on the festival website.
