1991 Production
Mule Bone was produced for the first time in 1991, more than 60 years after it was written. It opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway on February 14, 1991, to generally negative reviews.
Reviewing Mule Bone for The New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that it was "an evening that can most kindly be described as innocuous". He described it as a "broad, often bland quasi-musical". Also writing in The New York Times, David Richards said of Mule Bone that "it's just not a very good play". Both critics suggested that the play might have been much better had Hughes and Hurston finished their collaboration.
The production closed on April 14, 1991, after 68 performances.

“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
