Reflecting on Lorraine Hansberry’s drama, A Raisin in the Sun, this story explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.
“Vital, sharp-witted and ferociously smart.” - The New York Times
