Review: BENEATHA'S PLACE, Young Vic
Written a decade ago, the piece is perhaps more significant now than it was in 2013. Beneatha’s Place is unquestionably and ideologically hefty, academically relevant, and socio-politically topical.

It’s an explicit lecture on privilege and prejudice.

It’s a striking debut.
