THINGS OF DRY HOURS is a
beautiful, brave and devastating play, a profound imaginative delving into
radical resistance and hope rising at an impossible moment, in crushingly
inhospitable circumstances. No one writes about politics, history and all that's
hidden underneath better than Naomi Wallace. Ferocious, tender, whimsical,
tough, brutally direct, poetically elusive, her voice is utterly unique and
essential. I'm grateful, as always, for her unsparing, painful, sexy stirring up
of our human selves.
Tony Kushner
“Naomi Wallace’s gorgeously written and philosophically rich
celebration of a black Communist agitator in the Depression-era South...Wallace
weaves together these proud, lonely souls with language rich in metaphor and, at
times, as hard and piercing as a handful of nails.”
Time Out New York
“Naomi Wallace's fierce new play tackles the plight of black
communists in America...Naomi Wallace is a dangerous woman... not only in her
writing...but also in her personal stand against what she sees as injustice and
the peeling away of democratic rights.”
