A Raisin In The Sun Royal Exchange

I haven't much time to write a proper review of this so I will write a brief text as a reminder. For those of you who have not read the play, 'A Raisin In The Sun', by Lorraine Hansberry or seen the film, starring Sidney Poitier, the play is about a black, working-class family from Harlem, in the late 1950's. The head of the family, Lena (Mama) is given insurance money after the death of her husband, which her son, Walter desperately wants so that he can be part of a business enterprise with two friends.
