Shakespeare & Company continues its 2021 season with hang. Directed by Regge Life, the production will run September 10 through October 3.
In the dark and poetic comedy written by debbie tucker green, three individuals face off in a stark government room where justice hangs in the balance. A devastating decision with lingering consequences forms the underpinning of this unique and riveting story. A runaway hit at the Royal Court in London makes its regional debut here.
