The Mule-Bone
In rural Florida, a black man goes on trial for assaulting another black man. A Methodist minister and a Baptist minister argue the case, with the bible, not the law, as their guide. The Mule-Bone is a deceptively simple comedy that puts religion, brotherhood, and justice itself on trial. This play was the catalyst for Hughes' and Hurston's falling out, and was lost to the public for over sixty years before being staged for the first and final time in 1991.

Über den Autor
Langston Hughes (1901-1967) was an American poet, playwright, novelist, and activist whose contribution to modern English literature and profound influence on the Harlem Renaissance make him one of the twentieth century's most celebrated black artists and intellectuals. With his first collection of poetry, The Weary Blues (1926), a text incorporating the rhythms of jazz with the realities of everyday black life, Hughes established himself as an uncompromising chronicler of the African-American experience whose voice remains fresh, and perhaps unmatched, to this day.Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was an American novelist and anthropologist. Her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) is considered a twentieth century classic and a central text of the Harlem Renaissance. Although Hurston went largely unrecognized during her life, a 1975 essay by Alice Walker rekindled interest in her work, which has since been recognized as a groundbreaking achievement in African-American literary history.
