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.
