Lorraine Hansberry, (born May 19, 1930, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.—died January 12, 1965, New York, New York), American playwright whose A Raisin in the Sun (1959) was the first drama by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway.
This groundbreaking play starred Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeill, Ruby Dee and Diana Sands in the Broadway production which opened in 1959. Set on Chicago's South Side, the plot revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis and matriarch Lena, called Mama. When her deceased husband's insurance money comes through, Mama dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans, however: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school.
The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama. Sacrifice, trust and love among the Younger family and their heroic struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration. Winner of the NY Drama Critic's Award as Best Play of the Year, it has been hailed as a "pivotal play in the history of the American Black theatre." by Newsweek and "a milestone in the American Theatre."

已读中文版,奈何豆瓣没有,先标在英文版这边。(第一次为豆瓣添加词条,好兴奋
评分英专课读了六个剧本,这是碰巧最认真预习、最触动我的。现在看来,这个故事简单、老套,就是最俗气的鸡汤文学套上了种族议题的外衣,作者又是黑人女性使它在本身之外多了很多伟岸的形容词。但它意外地触碰了我的窘境和我最需要的那种心灵安慰。觉得自己就像Beneatha,自命不凡,渴望独立与自由,把未来寄托于父母长辈们的辛劳成果。这是个坚强又有尊严的黑人家庭,他们都有梦,但他们也都选择了家人。
评分无任何亮点的鸡汤剧本 里面的slang和各种谚语快看的死掉了... 语言难度还是挺低的
评分老实说,节奏有些奇怪。大部分角色是女性,并且第一幕男主老是把你们有色女人怎么怎么样挂在嘴边,我还以为是有色女性觉醒的故事,结果最后主角还是男人。
评分Lorraine Hansberry, 写的真的很好看,读下去不难,每一步都非常符合戏剧的理论。争吵似乎是戏剧不可或缺的东西。
