About the Play

The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window





The final work from A Raisin in the Sun playwright Lorraine Hansberry.


Story:

The story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Set against the shenanigans of a stormy political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption, alienation and cynicism.
