★★★★☆ - Stirring
Created and directed by Apphia Campbell, Black is the Color of My Voice from Seabright Live looks back at the life of a musician, singer, and civil-rights activist on what seems to be the eve of her father’s funeral, as his death inspires her to seek clarity and redemption.
Based on the life of Nina Simone, the play stars Nicholle Cherrie as the singer, who here is known by the stage name Mina Bordeaux, born Eugena, an analogue for Simone’s stage name, and birth name of Eunice. Other names are similarly altered throughout the story, but the details of Simone’s life remain unchanged.
