Add to SetSummary
Although Harlem Renaissance writers Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston wrote Mule Bone in 1930 and 1931, the play was not produced until 1991, decades after their deaths. Hughes and Hurston were friends and respected colleagues when they began the project, but the two fell out during the writing process due to an authorship dispute.
