For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf
by Ntozake Shange
The poetry and pacing in this work is beautiful. The words flow and crash and dance with the characters. It's a bold reclamation of what it means to be a woman of color. That being said, in order to really understand this piece, you either have to be a Black woman or you have to have a strong understanding of Black feminism. Otherwise, a lot of the language and topics Ntozake Shange is using won't make sense or could be interpreted wrongly. That's not a bad thing, in my opinion; this play demands we listen to the persepctives and art of Black women, and the theatre Needs that today just as much as it did when Shange wrote this play.
