Publisher Description

"When a mule bone becomes a bone of contention between two best friends, guitar player Jim and dancer Dave, their small Southern town becomes embroiled in the conflict. Egged on by flirtatious newcomer Daisy, matters escalate until the harmony of Eatonville is overturned and the longtime pals end up in court. Will justice or friendship prevail in this humorous Harlem Renaissance classic? ""The Mule-Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life in Three Acts"" by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston is a play written by two prominent African American authors during the 1930s. ""The Mule-Bone"" explores themes of love, rivalry, and community life in a Southern town. It's known for its rich dialogue and humor, offering a snapshot of African American culture during the early part of the 20th century."
