Produced by special arrangements with Samuel French, Inc.

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.
