The Bluest Eye

Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven

About the Show

The Bluest Eye tells the story of Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl coming of age in the racially turbulent 1940s. Her feelings ignored or scorned by the people around her, love always just out of reach, Pecola dreams of having blue eyes, eyes that she thinks will make her stop being invisible to the people around her, eyes that will spare her from the meanness of the world.
