1959 Broadway drama by Lorraine Hansberry, with "A"

RAISININTHESUN

This groundbreaking play shares its title with a Langston Hughes poem’s famous question about dreams.

This clue refers to the famous play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, which premiered on Broadway in 1959. The "with 'A'" part signals that you add the letter "A" to the start of the title—so "Raisin in the Sun" becomes "ARaisinInTheSun," which is then written as one word without spaces for the crossword answer. The play’s title itself comes from a line in Langston Hughes’ poem Harlem, asking what happens to a dream deferred.
