Lorraine Hansberry’s poetic rendering of a family, with all the petals and thorns intact. This groundbreaking drama changed the American theatre forever, breaking down barriers on and off stage. Each of the Youngers, a Black family, has a different view of how to spend their father’s life insurance settlement to better the family. Should they invest in a business, fund Beneatha's medical school aspirations, or relocate to an all-white neighborhood? The New York Times commended it for its “vigor as well as veracity,” as this masterpiece explores the enduring questions raised in Langston Hughes’ poem, Harlem: “What happens to a dream deferred?”
