Rhode Island Premiere
In partnership with WomensWorkRI
A crime has been committed. The victim has a choice to make. The criminal is waiting. His life. In her hands.
With shades of Harold Pinter, Debbie Tucker Green’s hang is a shattering and meticulously crafted three-hander about one woman and the unspeakable decision she must face.
“Provocative, touching, darkly humorous... its understated power is remarkable.”
– Time Out
"a fine achievement that poses a series of moral and ethical questions about society, the legal process, and how we would behave if placed on either side"
– British Theatre Guide
"Cataclysm in a small space. Explosion in lower case... in hang, it becomes clear only gradually what has prompted the meeting of three people in terrifying space."
– The Guardian
"Debbie tucker green is a law unto herself... always provocative, original and written in an unmistakable voice... A powerful experience."
– The Arts Desk
"What a stark, probing evening this is... A short, sharp satire about privatisation... Poised and poetic, with such pitch-black humor that laughs pop like gasps in reverse... This is a play that simmers all the way to the boil..."
