A Raisin in the Sun at Shakespeare Theatre Company - Klein Theatre

ByLorraine Hansberry Directed byTim Bond Produced in Association with Oregon Shakespeare Festival

“What happens to a dream deferred?”

Love, struggle, and shelved dreams bind the Younger family under their single roof on the South Side of 1950s Chicago. When a life insurance check arrives after the death of their father, it sparks a chance to break free—but each family member sees a different future, and the choices they make test everything they believe about identity, pride, and possibility. As urgent now as when it first debuted in 1959,witnessthis powerful revival ofLorraine Hansberry’s seminal workthat The New York Timescalled “The play that changed American theatre forever.”
