Historic and groundbreaking, Ntozake Shange’s for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf is a choreopoem that celebrates womanhood and discovery through an inimitable combination of storytelling, poetry, dance, and song. Through monologues and conversation, these women weave a tapestry of joy and triumph despite tragedy as they discover their own rainbows.
