• "Zora Neale Hurston has recently been rescued from literary oblivion and installed as a major figure in the American literary canon. Her stature thus far, however, has stemmed from her success as a novelist, especially in her masterwork, THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD (1937). Some Hurston aficionados were therefore surprised when the play she coauthored with Langston Hughes, `Mule Bone,' had its Broadway debut in 1991. Did Hurston write plays as well? Indeed she did. In fact, one of her first publications was a play, and she never gave up trying to mount a successful production." (SOUTHERN QUARTERLY) Hurston's published and unpublished plays are examined.
