520 |a In this essay, we will explore the variances in Madea's character and presence on stage and on screen in both productions of Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail: The Play and Madea Goes to Jail.

Exploring the subtle-and at times, not-so-subtle-ways in which Madea's performances differ from stage to screen, we suggest that Madea also performs as a text that Perry then uses to impart different messages to audiences of both stage and screen.
