Things of Dry Hours

Things of Dry Hours is the tale of a man’s spiritual awakening and the transforming power of hope, set in Depression-era Alabama. The lives of an African American father and his daugter are thrown into jeopardy when a white factory worker on the run from company police demands sanctuary in their home. With the three of them trapped in a tiny house, the intersections and maneuverings of gender, race, and class are laid bare through playwright Naomi Wallace’s riveting poetic language.

The Pittsburgh Public Theater presents this world premiere, directed by Israel Hicks.
