The Bluest Eye

written by Lydia Diamond
directed by Shirley Basfield Dunlap


Based on Nobel-Prize-winning author Toni Morrison's THE BLUEST EYE is the story about the tragic life of a young Black girl in 1940s Ohio. Eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove wants nothing more than to be loved by her family and schoolmates. Instead, she faces constant ridicule and abuse. With rich language and bold vision, this powerful adaptation of an American classic explores the crippling toll that  a legacy of racism has taken on a community, a family, and an innocent girl.
