A Raisin in the Sun – Lorraine Hansberry

One family, a long-awaited insurance payment and competing dreams of a better life.

Lorraine Hansberry’s landmark play follows the Younger family in Chicago as they wrestle with how to use money that could transform their future. Their choices expose tensions around race, dignity, ambition and what it means to make a home.

A powerful drama for readers who enjoy complex family relationships and literature that brings social questions into intimate focus. This is a play, not a novel.

If you liked the family tensions of Fences by August Wilson or the social insight of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, you’ll appreciate this enduring drama.
