Description Pulitzer prize-winning play, written as a spin-off to Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun (1959). In suburban Chicago 1959, Russ and Bev are selling their family home to a decidedly unwelcome black family. In the second act we fast-forward 50 years to Obama-land with a new set of characters and an inverse power ration, as a white couple attempt to inveigle their way into what has now become a black neighbourhood.
