This is a story about mad black woman. She's mad because her life has become unbearable. Now she must take drastic measures if she is to survive. It's not just any story, it's Diary of a Mad Black Woman and this play torrent is the original Broadway production starring Academy Award nominee Whoopi Goldberg and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner George C. Wolfe, the team that brought us Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and The Colored Museum. This is a story about a woman, Bethany, who's been married to a verbally and physically abusive husband for almost thirty years. Her situation has gotten so bad that she feels her only option is to leave her husband. She packs her things, but after she gets in her car, she realizes that without the car keys, the car will be useless. She goes back into the house looking for them but her husband sees that his life is threatened and decides to kill Bethany rather than let her go. In this production he ends up killing himself instead of having to serve time in prison . The story is based on the life of Jane Elliott. The play starts off with Bethany sitting in her prison cell as she recalls her life as a child and the abuse she suffered by both her mother and father as well as by her husband. Over the course of two acts, we see that Bethany's qualities as a person are those that make us human; they are those that make us funny, compassionate, kind-hearted, generous people. Through this play we learn what makes us "mad" or crazy -- it was small things that turned our lives into hell. Before our protagonist's husband loses his temper one final time, he says to Bethany: “You’re right. You are mad…. You are… dead.” "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best Play, Best Leading Actress in a Play (Whoopi Goldberg), Best Direction of a Play (George C.
