) Other white-authored dramas written and acclaimed at the time
were Abraham's Bosom, by Paul Green; the opera Porgy and Bess, by
DuBose and Dorothy Heyward; The Green Pastures, by Marc Connelly; as
well as O'Neill's All God's Chillun Got Wings (1923). One of his earliest dramas, In Abraham's Bosom,
won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1927, and he went on to write scores of
other compositions, among them an adaptation of Richard Wright's
novel Native Son for the Broadway stage. Lazarus the poor man, in
Luke's Gospel, did not find himself in Abraham's bosom after
death because he was good but because he was poor, and because of that
he should have been helped by the rich man, who--because of his
inattention--is in torment. |
