A Raisin in the Sun

The classic African-American masterpiece. The Younger family all have dreams–Walter Lee of receiving the respect due to a business owner, Beneatha of a medical career, Mama of a house with a patch of garden. An inheritance brings some–but not all–of those dreams within their grasp. Whose will be realized, whose denied? What does this rivalry do to a family that depends on trust for its survival? Lorraine Hansberry’s ground-breaking 1959 drama tells of hope and betrayal, visions worth fighting for and the courage it takes to make them reality.
