LAST CHANCE: TONI MORRISON’S THE BLUEST EYE AT HUNTINGTON THEATRE COMPANY

Written by DIG STAFF Posted February 20, 2022 Filed Under: A+E, Performing Arts

THROUGH SUN 2.27


From the team at Huntington Theatre Company:

Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye will be adapted by Huntington Theatre Company under the guise of Lydia Diamond and directorship of Awoye Timpo. The storyline follows the protagonist, Pecola, a young black girl who desires nothing more than to have blue eyes. 

The narrative follows her wishes, her thoughts, and her complexities as she makes sense of the world she lives in. Director Awoye Timpo is inspired by the storytelling traditions of Black rituals. Audiences will be seated in a circle surrounding the actors, and the experience will create a space for provocation, remembrance and healing. 

In Awoye’s words, ‘Coming together in a circle to tell a story is essential to our humanity. That’s what we’re inviting the community into with The Bluest Eye.’”


[Huntington Theatre Company, 537 Tremont St, Boston. Shows every day excluding Monday. $20-25. bostonusa.com/event/the-bluest-eye/70253/]
