An African-American family hopes to use a $10,000 legacy left them by the family's late father to move out of the Chicago projects and into a white neighborhood. Spearheading the move is matriarch Esther Rolle, who wants to open more opportunity doors for herself and her family. Rolle's son Danny Glover is bitter about the move; he'd hoped to use the inheritance to open his own business. Most of the play involves the heated battles between the idealistic Rolle and the hostile Glover, who feels that moving into an all-white suburb will hinder rather than help his future. For the purposes of this version, a scene from the play that was removed during its original Broadway run is reinstated. Originally broadcast February 1, 1989, Raisin in the Sun was the eighth-season opener for PBS' American Playhouse.

Danny is a great, probably underrated, actor. He never disappoints.

This play originally aired on American Playhouse in 1989. The cast does a stellar job of bringing Lorraine Hansberry's characters to life in a very real and relatable way. It feels like we
know
these people, or at least people like them.

Yes, but more tragic than comedic.

The character of Walter Lee is supposed to be 35. Danny was 43 at the time of this play, so he was a bit closer in age to the character.

He was too old for the role by the time this was filmed.
