Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking play A Raisin in the Sun, the first on Broadway written by a black woman, will tour to Liverpool Playhouse from March 2-5.
An intense family drama, written on the cusp of the civil rights era, sees the Younger family await the arrival of a cheque for a life-changing $10,000.
Driven to conflict as they encounter issues of inequality, housing and lack of opportunity that continue to resonate, the play acts as a warning to anyone who measures happiness and personal worth in capital gain.
