Delroy Lindo returns to the New York stage as Tice Hogan, a black communist recruiter in depression-era Alabama whose values are tested when he takes in a mysterious, young, white fugitive, Corbin Teel (Garret Dillahunt), in Naomi Wallace's superb new play. Wallace's beautifully challenging writing (equal parts political thriller and kitchen sink drama with flourishes of magic realism) never gives away too much, while Ruben Santiago-Hudson's deceptively simple staging makes room for wonderfully layered performances from Lindo, Dillahunt (best known as Tommy Lee Jones' sidekick in No Country for Old Men) and Roslyn Ruff as Cali, Hogan's seductively complex daughter who takes a liking to Corbin. Marking her first off-Broadway production in a decade, Things of Dry Hours is a rare opportunity to see an important American playwright at the top of her game.
