This indeed is a powerful portrayal of a black family living in Chicago who have dreams and aspirations of a better life. The full cast of the recording were brilliant in their performances and brought so much emotion to the play. Exceptional story and highly recommend.

A fast read that packs a punch.
With a diverse cast of characters, everyone plays their role in the family, bringing something special to the play/story.

A hard look at the depravity of the times and the resilience of family.

Really brilliant play about race and class and dreams in America. I wish I had something more profound to say about it but I just really loved it, it's so thoughtfully written and the four main characters are so well defined and complex.

This may have been relaxant 60 years ago but in current time this doesn’t work , even though racism and fights for equality still exist. Couldn’t emotionally connect. Characters were annoying and selfish. Writing was good.
