Gutsy, gritty and often very funny...irresistible theatricality. -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
A dazzlingly entertaining dramatization 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.
