The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window

About The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window

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.” —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.

“It 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 illumined…. Miss Hansberry, I am convinced, doesn’t know how to create a character who isn’t gloriously diverse, illuminatingly contradictory, heart-breakingly alive…. [A] personal odyssey of discovery, a confrontation with others in the process of which [Brustein] discovers himself.” —from the Foreword by John Braine

With an Introduction by Robert Nemiroff.
