For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf

A series of twenty poems, this play is performed through a cast of nameless women, each known only by a color: "Lady in Yellow." The performances of the nine actresses are focused on their specific stories; i.e., Lady in Green embodies youthful determination as she runs away from home to live with Dominican liberator Toussaint LOuverture. The play ends evoking the power of womanhood as the Lady in Brown begins the mantra I found God in myself/ and I loved her/ I loved her fiercely.
