Black Nativity

This is the script of the original Langston Hughes version of his Black Nativity. From what I can discover few people perform it as originally written but change local, etc. However reading the original is helpful in understanding the evolved productions. There is no additional material provided

Langston puts his unique spin on a story almost as old as time. As always, his characters come to life and transport the reader into another dimension.

I had an opportunity to see this great play last year. I wanted to be able to read about it as often as possible. It is like reliving it all over again.

Exactly what I was seeking.

The presentation of this play has been a part of my family's holiday traditions for many years. This is one of Langston Hughes' most spiritual pieces. I ordered it for a friend who is a part of an annnual, dramatization of this text -- and he was speechless! Many communities know this text -- but few of us get to read the original. It gives a wonderful perspective on the Holy Birth and the Christian tradition. It is a family 'must have' for anyone who longs for the true meaning of Christmas, and who wants an African American version of the birth of Christ.
