RAISIN IN THE SUN. A milestone in the American theatre, this intensely affecting drama chronicles how a financial windfall touches the lives of an African-American family living in Chicago in the late fifties. As the simple desire for a home of their own becomes the touchstone of heartbreak, sacrifice, trust, and love, their story becomes a heroic struggle to hold a world together.
