Zora Howard’s play “Hang Time” is subtle, vcunningham writes, and the language is rich. “Its imagery, however, is awful and overt.”
That’s true: no, you really don’t want to know the deep, burbling source of the blues. The kind of grief that urges you to song is inelegant, a hot devil nearly impossible to wrestle into form. The right note in that scenario—the kind of experience with which these men, in their different ways, all seem too familiar—might sound out of tune. Moving on and staying alive mean, for the most part, steering clear of that abyss.
So, where are these men? What kind of speech are they engaged in? They often ask each other which day of the week it is, with a touching and seemingly avoidant confusion. The play runs for only an hour, but feels dense with their reminiscences and world views, their trepidations and buried fears. They seem stuck not only by way of their unmentioned hangings but in some gray gap between life and death, between wistful retrospection and wounded involvement in the dailiness of things.
