Three Plays

Three Plays by Zora Neale Hurston is a collection of her dramatic works that showcase her keen insight into African-American life culture and the complexities of human relationships. The collection includes three of her most significant plays: Color Struck The First One and Mule Bone (the latter co-written with Langston Hughes). In Color Struck Hurston explores themes of colorism and internalized racism within the African-American community. The story follows the tragic tale of a woman Emma who is torn between love and her own prejudices about skin color. The play delves into the societal tensions surrounding racial identity and the emotional impact of color discrimination.
