Tyler Perry is set to write, direct and produce an adaptation of the 1975 play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.”
For Colored Girls is set for a November production start date in Atlanta with a planned release date next year. The play is a series of 20 poems telling stories of love, abandonment, domestic abuse and other issues faced by black women.
“For Colored Girls,” written by Ntozake Shange, who will write the screen adaptation, was first performed in 1975.
I am looking forward to seeing Perry work on an adaptation from some one else’s work. He’s quite the talent.
