Review: A RAISIN IN THE SUN, Lyric Hammersmith
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 12, 2024
Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun was the first play by a Black woman to appear on Broadway. Since its first performance in 1959, it remains as hard-hitting as ever. Exploring a domestic drama in its depiction of an everyday working class Black family, with ordinary desires, conflicts and aspirations; radical at the time of writing.

BWW Review: THIS BEAUTIFUL FUTURE, The Yard Theatre
by Charlie Wilks - Nov 7, 2017

Planes fly overhead, looking for places to drop bombs, but in this countryside house there's a different sort of spark happening. This Beautiful Future is a compassionate take on a bleak situation.
