Description
|
|
|
|
From its inception in California in 1974 to its highly acclaimed critical success at Joseph Papp's Public Theater and on Broadway, this Tony Award–nominated, Obie Award–winning work of poetry and staged choreography has excited, inspired, and transformed audiences. Ntozake Shange's brave and passionate words reveal what it meant to be of color and female in the 20th century. First published in 1975, when it was praised by The New Yorker for encompassing "every feeling and experience a woman has ever had," for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf is presented here as a series of prose poems with stage directions. This edition includes a reading group guide and black and white still photos from the Tyler Perry film adaptation.
