From the award-winning author of A Raisin in the Sun, one of the most electrifying classic masterpieces of the American theater, for the first time in a stand-alone print edition, revised and restored.
First staged in 1964, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window is the probing, hilarious, and provocative story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Set against the shenanigans of a stormy political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption, alienation, and cynicism. With compassion, humor, and poignancy, the author examines questions concerning the fragility of love, morality and ethics, interracial relationships, drugs, rebellion, conformity, and especially withdrawal from or commitment to the world.
A milestone in the American theater, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window is an unforgettable portrait of a man struggling with his individual fate in an age of racial and social injustice. |
