B
Tyler Perry was born on September 13, 1969, in New Orleans. He had a difficult childhood, suffering years of abuse(虐待)at the hands of his father.
One day, watching Oprah Winfrey's talk show, Perry was inspired by a comment about how writing about difficult experiences could lead to personal breakthroughs. He started a series of letters to himself, which became the ba?sis for the musical I Knoxv I've Been Changed, While the show was about child abuse, it also touched on forgiveness―a main theme in many of his works. Perry put on the show at an Atlanta theater in 1992. The musical's run lasted only one weekend and drew only 30 people to see the show.
Disappointed yet determined , Perry continued to work while reworking the show. He staged the show in several other cities, but success still didn't come. Broke, Perry was living out of his car for a time. In 1998, Perry tried one more time to win over theatre audiences. He rented out the House of Blues in Atlanta for another production of I Knoxv I've Been Changed, Soon Perry was performing to sellout crowds and the musical was moved to a larger theatre. After so many years of hard work, he finally succeeded.
For his next project, Perry adapted(改編)T. D. Jakes's book Woman, Thou Art Loosed , which proved to be quite popular. His next effort , howev?er, brought to life his most famous character―Madea. The sharp-tongue grandma first appeared in his 2000-year play, I Can Do Bad AIL by Myself. Basing Madea on his mother and several other women in his life, Perry played the unusual character himself. She next appeared in Diary of a Mad Black Woman(2001). Developing quite a following, Madea had appeared in a num?ber of plays, including Madea's Family Reunion (2002) and Madea's Class Reunion(2003). Perry toured a lot with his shows.
