Playwright
Ntozake Shange
Director
Rita Gray
For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow is Enuf, written by American playwright Ntozake Shange, showcases the power of black women. The production addresses social issues like rape, abortion, and acceptance. The action of the play culminates in “a laying on of hands,” where Shange evokes the power of womanhood as the Lady in Red begins the mantra “I found God in myself/ and I loved her/ I loved her fiercely.”
“Overwhelming…It’s joyous and alive, affirmative in the face of despair.”
-Douglas Watt, New York Daily News
“These poems and prose selections are…rich with the author’s special voice: by turns bitter, funny, ironic, and savage; fiercely honest and personal.”
-Martin Gottfried, New York Post
