Excerpts of (Zora and Langston)

In the early days of 1930, Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes set out to write a play together. Over the course of a few weeks, they dictated the first draft of the play Mule Bone to Louise Thompson. This collaboration did not end with a production that changed theater history, but a rift between literary titans that was never repaired — Zora & Langston is a play about a play about friends and the lightning that strikes when genius and love collide.
