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."

又是一个大家都有病

很多少数族裔文学 归根到底就是一个母题：conflict between the individual life and the burden of a whole race 因为你是少数族裔的一份子 所以你做的每一个选择 每一件事 suddenly comes to represent a whole race 所以有时不得不牺牲个人利益 维护这个种族的pride and dignity（华人也是一样 但有时真的想f*** PC）

怎么说……不喜欢这种苦大仇深？

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

人物苍白平板，剧情老套乏味，台词粗糙无味，就差没贴脸喊口号了
