Opening this week at Soulpepper is another classic tale. A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry, tells the story of a three generation black family's experiences living in the South Side of Chicago sometime between WWII and the 1950s. A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a black woman to be produced on Broadway, as well as the first play with a black director (Lloyd Richards) on Broadway. The Original Broadway cast even included Sidney Poitier!
