A Raisin in the Sun

Lorraine Hansberry's breakthrough drama (1959) is in loving, unflinching hands at Moxie Theatre. Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, the ensemble and design work are first rate. And outstanding performances by Mark Christopher Lawrence, as conflicted Walter Lee Younger, and Sylvia M'Lafi Thompson, as his mother Lena, make the production one of Moxie's finest ever. The Youngers have lived in their cramped, Southside Chicago apartment for decades. A $10,000 life insurance check inspires competing dreams. But before they can move out, to an uncertain future, the family must climb out of personal valleys. By play's end, the old, "rat trap" of an apartment cannot contain their pride.
