Abstract:
North Carolina playwright and screenwriter Paul Green contributed to dozens of Hollywood scripts between the early 1930s and 1960, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his 1927 play, In Abraham's Bosom, and famously wrote the outdoor history play, The Lost Colony, which has run every summer in Manteo since 1937. Green, an advocate for liberal social reforms in the South, used both his plays and film scripts to voice his social concerns.
