Broadway’s longest-running Black play has been produced throughout the world. Set
in Chicago’s South Side during the 1950’s , the plot revolves around the divergent
dreams of and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family. Mama dreams
of moving to a decent home as she’s received her deceased husband’s insurance settlement. Her
son, a chauffeur, dreams of buying a liquor store and being his own man. Her young,
liberated daughter dreams of medical school. This powerful drama is built on sacrifice,
heartbreak, trust, love and mama’s heroic struggle to hold the family together. There
are multiple themes – Black identity, pride and power –quest for liberation, the
Black family’s strength and closeness, Black America’s links with Black Africa –
all culminating in the family’s climatic refusal to sacrifice human dignity to the
demands of a money-driven, racist society. It won the Best Play of the Year and
the NY Drama Critics’ Circle Award. Newsweek called it , “a pivotal play in the
history of the American Black theatre.
