A Celebration of the “Laughin’ kind of Lovin’ kind of Hurtin’ kind of Pain that comes from Being Human”.
The verdant, earthy language of Zora Neale Hurston is animated through the music of the blues in three tales of love, revenge, and redemption. Adapted by George C. Wolfe and featuring musical narration composed by blues artist Chic Street Man, SPUNK brings to vivid life these remarkable short stories from the Harlem Renaissance.
