Hang – Yellow Jacket Productions 5*****

| On 15, Aug 2016

‘Hang’ is set in a future where capital punishment has returned to the UK but there is an unbearable twist in the how the method of death is determined. This taught drama kept me spellbound as we witnessed the obvious pain felt by the victim. We never find out the actual crime, we never see the accused but we are always aware of the enormous impact that the resulting trauma has had on the victim and her family. The inhumanity of whatever crime has been committed is equalled by the inhumanity of the bureaucracy that surrounds the process as checklists have to be filled and protocols followed which try to remove any emotion from the process. An impossible task.
This was a fantastic and gripping hour of drama written by Debbie Tucker Green. You could have heard a pin drop in the room as the tension increased and when humour did occur it was almost a relief to be able to laugh. All three actresses – Jessica Flood, Kim Christie and Tiannah Viechweg – give excellent performances. Highly recommended!
