For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf By: Ntazake Shange

A stunning collection of poems, which together create an astonishing play.  The use of music and dance help to highlight, and in turn be highlighted by, the poems.  Moving and full of history, anguish, pain, pride, happiness and love, this piece should be performed continuously until it is no longer a continuous reflection of society.  Premiering on Broadway 46 yeas ago, it is sad to say that nothing depicted in these poems has changed, which is an incredibly sad commentary on us!
