NEW - A RAISIN IN THE SUN - Talkin' Broadway's Review

Posted by:	T.B._Admin. 06:50 pm EDT 04/03/14

Matthew Murray takes a look at A Raisin in the Sun: The odor of dust permeates the air at the Ethel Barrymore well before the action begins in the new revival of A Raisin in the Sun that just opened there. The show curtain displays a quotation from the Langston Hughes poem, "A Dream Deferred," that gives Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play about African-American Chicagoans its title. And when the lights do dim in preparation for Act I, before the curtain rises we hear a recording of Hansberry herself speaking of her own dreams of a more racially aware and respectful American theatre. . . .
