this play follows a struggling, working-class, black family in chicago. this takes a deep dive into family dynamics. we have “mom,” the matriarch who recently lost her husband; walter and ruth, a married couple who disagree about how to make money; their son, travis; and beneatha, a college student who’s not afraid to challenge social norms. while this book was written decades ago, it still felt realistic, in so many ways, to life now. i’d recommend this play and i’m hoping to one day read lorraine hansberry’s memoir.
