Lorraine Hansberry was definitely ahead of her time.
This may have a higher rating if I actually saw it on stage instead of read / listened to it. I read it in pretty much one sitting to stay true to the theater experience – you can't pause a play, you have to sit through it – and it was still very moving and hooked my attention. But reading and listening to the play I'm sure doesn't compare to actually seeing and living it in the theater.

This was a great play to read. The characters were well-written and so were their emotions. You understood why they acted the way they did, said the things they said, thought the things they thought.
I definitely recommend!
