In this winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize, 2011 Olivier and 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, jokes fly and hidden agendas unfold as two vastly different generations of characters tiptoe the delicate dance of social politics, pitting race against real estate at the crux of two seminal events in the same north Chicago house. Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s classic A Raisin in the Sun, playwright Bruce Norris has continued the story both in its original setting and 50 years later in 2009. In this multi award-winning play an unforgettable new story emerges in which the people are different but the debate is strikingly familiar.
