A Boston premiere, adapted by Lydia
Diamond from the Novel by Toni Morrison
“One of the best literary adaptations of the last decade” – Chicago Tribune
“It is not to be missed” – Washington Post
Don’t miss the first full production in Boston for
nationally renowned playwright, Lydia Diamond!
THE BLUEST EYE is a haunting and tragic portrait of a
black girl's coming of age in the racially turbulent 1940s.
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. Besides being the Boston premiere, THE BLUEST EYE
is also the first fully mounted Boston production for Lydia
Diamond, whose work has appeared at distinguished regional
theatres around the country.
