From the award-winning author of A Raisin in the Sun, comes one of the most electrifying classic masterpieces of the American theater: an unforgettable portrait of a man struggling with his individual fate in an age of racial and social injustice.

"Rich and warm and funny... beautifully written.ā€ ā€”Los Angeles Times
 
The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, along with A Raisin in the Sun, are milestones in the American theater, remarkable not only for their historical value but for their continued ability to engage the imagination and the heart.

ā€œIt is drama of such clarity that one may return to it again and again, and, I expect, emerge as deeply moved; and each time the more illuminedā€¦. Miss Hansberry, I am convinced, doesnā€™t know how to create a character who isnā€™t gloriously diverse, illuminatingly contradictory, heart-breakingly aliveā€¦. [A] personal odyssey of discovery, a confrontation with others in the process of which [Brustein] discovers himself.ā€ ā€”from the Foreword by John Braine

With an Introduction by Robert Nemiroff.
