Hours of Lead

full-length play written by Mert Dilek

“But I see now that you are rotten inside. There is poison in your mind. In your heart. A rancour mists over all of it.”

A death, a summons, a sea-change. As spring turns to a scorching summer in Istanbul, two grieving families turn against each other.

Hours of Lead received a reading and a subsequent R&D workshop at Hazal Ozkan Art Gallery in January 2023 with the following cast:
