Lorraine Hansberry's classic family drama returns with a revival at the Lyric Hammersmith, following on from a UK tour co-produced by Nottingham Playhouse and Leeds Playhouse. A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by an African-American woman to be produced on Broadway. It was also one of the very first on Broadway to take an in-depth look at the experiences of African-American families in pre-civil rights USA. Although Hansberry's groundbreaking play was initially considered to be a risky investment, it went on to run for nearly two years and received four Tony nominations.
