 Things of Dry Hours
Alabama. 1932. In his log cabin, Tice reads from 2 books. He swears by his bible and dreams of spreading the word of Karl Marx. His daughter Cali no longer dreams. Her world extends no further than the washing of sheets for rich white folk.
They wake in the night to an ominous knocking at their door.
An enigmatic stranger enters their lives who intends to turn their worlds upside down. Will this lead to Tice’s version of heaven or Cali’s dream of hell?
Colin McFarlane plays Tice Hogan in Things of Dry Hours by American playwright Naomi Wallace and directed Raz Shaw at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre and at The Gate Theatre (Notting Hill).
"Making his debut at the Exchange is actor Colin McFarlane as Tice, a black socialist who swears by his Bilbe and is intent on spreading the gospel according to Marx. It's a performance of great power and dignity."
