John Doyle’s critically acclaimed production opened in summer 2013 in London at the Menier Chocolate Factory.  Charles Spencer of The Telegraph said The Color Purple, “blows the roof off the theatre,” and Libby Purvess of The Times says, “It rocks the house.  Never was there such stamping, cheering, hooting, roaring and whistling.”  And Mark Shenton of The Stage called the production “A revelation.  Something truly extraordinary.”
