The Color Purple

Starring: Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P Henson

Billing itself as “a bold new take on the beloved classic”, The Color Purple is based on Alice Walker’s novel. In 1909 Celie, a young black American girl, is torn apart from her sister and children, given away in marriage by her abusive father to a local farmer, Albert, who treats her cruelly. Deliverance comes in the unexpected form of Albert’s mistress Shug Avery, a jazz singer, and her step-daughter, who take Celie away from her misery and she finds extraordinary strength in the bonds of a new kind of sisterhood.
