| Description |
The play consists of Hurston's three short stories: "Sweat," "Story in Harlem Slang," and "The Gilded Six Bits."
"Spunk" deals with the three vital issues of love, money and survival. "Sweat" tells the story of a young woman who is abused, betrayed and terrorized with a snake by her husband.
"Story in Harlem Slang" is the story of two young gigolos trying to out-hustle each other for the favor of a young woman. "The Gilded Six Bits" is a bittersweet story of a husband's betrayal by his loving but innocent wife.
Wolfe creates a story of rural and urban African American life in the early 20th century using narration, dramatization, puppetry, dance and musical interludes. Hurston flourished as a writer of prose fiction and journalism. Her collection of African American folk tales influenced her short fiction stories and her 1937 novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." |
