Everything bout The Color Purple
The Color Purple Is based on the life story of African American women in the early 20th century in Georgia. This story is about two sisters Celie and Nettie who had kept the trust, loyalty, and hope in each other even after such a long-distance, time, and silence.
The novel is a lot famous for drawing the attention of the readers into its memorable implications of real-life portrayals of Nettie, Celie, Sofia, Shug Avery, and their experiences. This musical adds a great contribution to breaking the Silence regarding sexual abuse and domestic violence. Along with that sharing the lives of women through all their struggle and pain growth and companionship bravery and resilience during that period.
The story is about 4 Black women who had been a constant part of such challenges starting from the school days and facing a lot of sexual abuse violence, homosexuality, and explicit language. All the factors added great reliability and significance to the story and this is the reason BBC News listed the novel on the top 100 list of most influential novels.
The broadway stage production which was depicted from this book shows the ragtime, Jazz, Blues, and Gospel of African music and shares the story that had become a touchstone since its production in the year 1982. This story adds an entirely new dimension to all the narrative and showcases the authenticity of black music and black characters in a black story.
This musical had earned 11 nominations and a total of 910 performances after its release in 2005.
