About the Show
A Noise Within presents a haunting and tragic portrait of a Black girl’s coming of age in the racially turbulent 1940s, adapted for the stage by Lydia R. Diamond from the novel by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. Faced with constant ridicule and abuse, 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove blames her dark skin. If only she had blue eyes… surely love would follow?
