Flyin' West and Other Plays

Pearl Cleage is one of America's most produced African American woman playwrights. This volume collects her major full-length plays and one-acts over the past ten years including Flyin' West -- a turn of the century drama about four black women struggling as true women on America's heartland -- and Blues for an Alabama Sky -- a moving evocation of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s. Also included are Bourbon at the Border, Late Bus to Mecca, and Chain.
