Synopsis

When it was first produced in 1959, A Raisin in the Sun was awarded the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for that season and hailed as a watershed in American drama.

A pioneering work by an African-American playwright, the play was a radically new representation of black life.

" A play that changed American theater forever."

--The New York Times.
