© Pamela Raith Alice Walker s novel is a dark book to make a bright musical out of. It has a feel-good message about the power of sisterhood and love to pull a woman through, but its heroine Celie has to suffer incest, rape, and domestic abuse before making her way to her happy ending. When Marsha Norman, Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray turned the book into a hit Broadway show they inevitably sanitised its horrors. Although less saccharine than Steven Spielberg s movie, there s still something antiseptic about the world they created and the way it skirts over the true horror of the suffering experienced by black women in the American South between 1913 and 1945, brutalised by men who had themselves been fatally damaged by the legacy of slavery. The score s not much to write home about either; a couple of belting numbers aside, it feels more like a collection of fairly attractive fragments than a musical.
