The Cincinnati Shakespeare company takes on one of the most pivotal plays of the 20th century as it presents Lorraine Hansberry’s Raisin in the Sun.
This play by Samuel D. Hunter (the playwright behind A Bright New Boise and The Whale) explores the highs and lows of being a father in small town America, where the men are forced to make ends meet through working dead-end jobs.
Kareem Fahmy’s play, based on true events, unfolds in a library straddling the U.S.-Canada border, where five individuals from diverse backgrounds converge amidst the chaos of the “Muslim ban.” This new play explores into the ways in which family, food, art, love, and politics can be sources of both conflict and connection.
The emotional impact is profound, and while there is beauty in Pi’s resilience, his journey is not an easy one.
