About this product

Product Information

"Never before, in the entire history of the American theater, has so much of the truth of Black people's lives been seen on the stage," observed James Baldwin shortly before A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959. This edition presents the fully restored, uncut version of Hansberry's landmark work with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff. Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of Black America--and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun." "The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun ," said The New York Times . "It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic."

    Bought for 9th grade granddaughter

    Required reading for my granddaughter for school. Bought her her own copy for home. Backpack is heavy enough.

    Great Book for all!!!

    I needed to buy this book because the freshman at the high school I work with were reading it in their english class. I support the students with special needs. I found it here for a fabulous price. The book is actually a play and is a great read for all. I was able to incorporate a lot of lessons surrounding dreams and human dignity. The students really liked the change up from reading novels and stories with which they couldn't relate. Check it out it's worth you time.
