- Book Synopsis
- A dazzlingly entertaining dramatisation of three stories by the celebrated black iconoclast, Zora Heale Hurston: a rich folk tapestry of rural and urban black America in the 20th century. In Sweat, a woman is abused by her husband and terrorized with a snake. The gigolos of Story in Harlem Slang stage a streetcorner brawl of style and braggadocio. In The Gilded Six-Bits, lovers are betrayed by a lust for gold but redeemed by the birth of a child. Using narration, dramatization, puppetry, dance and musical interludes, Wolfe creates from Hurston's word-drunk prose a rich folk tapestry of rural and urban life early in the last century. Also included in this volume is music for the original country-blues songs composed by Chic Street Man. 'Gutsy, gritty and often very funny... irresistible theatricality' Associated Press 'Dazzlingly entertaining... This is a great show' New York Post.
