A Raisin in the Sun

It's sad to see that this talented playwright died at the age of 34.  At least she wrote one masterpiece.  Lorraine was the first successful African American female playwright.  The characters in this play are so likable but real.  All of the family is driven by ambition.  The daughter wants to become a doctor.  Walter wants out of his chauffeur job into something better.  The religious mama wants a better house for them especially with a baby coming.  All of their dreams can come true with the father's money coming in.  But just how responsible is Walter?  This is one of the best plays I've read dealing with how family life is like. Sidney Poitier starred in the movie version.
