The Mule-Bone
In a small Southern town, a fight between two best friends over a woman turns into a community-wide spectacle when one strikes the other with a mule bone. What begins as a simple quarrel quickly escalates into a courtroom showdown that divides neighbors, tests friendships, and sparks lively debates filled with humor and wit.Written by two giants of the Harlem Renaissance, this comedy captures the vibrancy of Black Southern life with rich dialect, folklore, and sharp social commentary. Though lost to literary history for decades due to a dispute between its authors, the play remains a brilliant and entertaining exploration of community, justice, and human nature.
