“The Diary of A Mad Black Woman” My favorite movie is The Diary of a Mad Black Woman, written and produced by Tyler Perry. Helen McCarter is living a wife’s dream. She has a nice house and a rich husband, despite the fact that she could not have children. In the public eye they appeared to be the perfect couple. Helen and Charles attend an awards ceremony, where Charles receives The Jacob Bryonsteam Award for attorney for the most outstanding attorney of the year award. Helen arrive home and Helen finds her clothes packed up outside in a U-Haul truck. Helen enters her home and find a new wardrobe of designer clothes in her closet. Helen automatically thinks the clothes are a present from her loving husband. She selects a dress to wear while waiting on Charles to arrive. When Charles arrives he announces that he is divorcing Helen for a younger woman. The younger woman is able to have children. Helen refuse to leave, and Charles is forced to drag her out the house seeing as though Charles is the sole provider. Helen then moves in with her stern grandmother Madea. Madea is a strong willed, opinionated woman that stands her own ground. Madea teaches Helen to be a strong woman. Any type of audience would suit this production. The problems that the characters in this production encounter are the same problems a lot of people face in everyday life. The production will be told using a very realistic approach allowing the audience to use their own personal experience to connect with the actors on stage. A woman who’s husband cheated on her in the past will be able to feel Helen’s heartbreak. In order to tell this story in live theater there would have to be some changes made. In the original production there are many different scenes in which the production takes place. In order to format this production for theater some of the scenes will have to be omitted
