Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking American drama

About

On the South Side of 1950s Chicago, the Younger family lives under one roof, bound together by love, struggle and shelved dreams. When a life-insurance check arrives after the death of their father, it sparks a chance to break free—from poverty, from their cramped apartment, and from the limits of a deeply segregated society. Each family member sees a different future, and the choices they make test everything they believe about identity, pride and possibility.

Suitable for most audiences; the play contains some mild profanity, discusses abortion only euphemistically, and features one use of the "n-word" by a Black character.
