[NEohioPAL] Review: Actors Make Adaptation of 'Bluest Eye' Sizzle

[Heads Up Productions]

Actors Make Adaptation of 'Bluest Eye' Sizzle
By Managing Artistic Director Benjamin Rexroad

Until I saw the Bluest Eye, directed by Fred Sternfeld at Karamu House  
in Cleveland, I don’t think I had ever watched a production that  
inspired two contradictory trains of thought.
Before I explain those divergent trains, a background of the play is  
necessary. The Bluest Eye is adapted from Noble Prize-winning author  
Toni Morrison’s novel of the same name.  The story centers on young  
Pecola Breedlove, a black girl living in Ohio in the years immediately  
following the Great Depression. Pecola faces racism, incest and child  
molestation and, consequently, the  book is banned from schools and  
libraries across the country.
