Reviews

“Theater Alliance shines in a chilling adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel.”
- Washington Post

“Incandescent. Lydia Diamond's agile adaptation, exemplary ensemble acting, and well-placed bursts of traditional spiritual music lift Miss Morrison's work from desperate sadness to tragic grandeur. Four Stars.” - Washington Times

“'The Bluest Eye' will retain a visual impact in your memory long after the particulars of plot or even character fade. Of course, that may well be many years in the future, for this experience will stay with you for a long, long time.” - Potomac Stages
