A Raisin in the Sun
By Lorraine Hansberry
A Raisin in the Sun is powerful and emotional. It tells the story of a struggling, working class family with hopes and dreams for a better future. In this play, Hansberry created very memorable characters. The story really brings to light the struggles this family experienced.
A Raisin in the Sun was nominated for multiple Tony Awards and has been considered one of the best plays ever written. It is certainly one of the best plays I've ever read!
This one was absolutely a 5 star read. I listened to this play in audiobook format while following along in the print book. The audiobook had a full cast and was absolutely phenomenal! I then followed the listening and reading of this play with watching the 1961 film adaptation starring Sidney Poitier which was also very well done. Definitely consider listening to the full cast audiobook when reading this and then watch the 1961 film adaptation afterwards.
A Raisin in the Sun is moving and compelling; and it's a book that I feel should not be missed.
