A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

4.0

A very strong 4 stars! What a simply told but meaningful play. It leaves an impression that isn’t often possible in such a short work. I wish we could have even more story about these characters. Hansberry had a clear sense of what she set out to achieve with this work, and she managed it. I admire the emotion and sardonicism and awareness that went into the play. Somehow, it’s a story that’s been told several times and it’s one of the original works on the subject, yet the author makes it entirely her own.
