Description & Specifications

A revised Student Edition of Lorraine Hansberry's iconic play originally published in 1959 – the first play performed on Broadway written by a Black woman. In addition to the script, this edition includes commentary and notes by Isaiah Wooden, which examine:

  • The socio-historical context of the play (including Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in the USA)
  • Main themes (including African American identity, property ownership, and emerging Black feminist politics)
  • Structure and techniques (including mid-20th-century family dramas, genuine realism, and the use of music, dance, and song by Hansberry in the play)
  • Production history (from the premiere of the production to the Broadway revival in 2014 starring Denzel Washington and LaTanya Richardson Jackson, as well as the UK tour in 2016 directed by Dawn Walton)
  • Engagement with the play (including contemporary responses such as Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Neighbors, Bruce Norris’s Clybourne Park, and Kwame Kwei-Armah’s Beneatha’s Place)

The notes section at the end of the edition includes definitions of terms used in the play that students may not be familiar with. Overall, this edition helps students understand Hansberry’s work and its politics from a contemporary perspective, within the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, and aligns with current discussions around race, gender, and class.
