Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry’s The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York’s Greenwich Village, struggling to do what’s right in a world that rewards everything that’s wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They’re caught in a moment where “the world is about to crack right down the middle,” as the play deftly tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more. A 2023 Tony Award Nominee for Best Revival, Rachel Brosnahan and Oscar Isaac lead a stellar cast, bringing wit and humor to characters and issues that are as relevant today as they were in the turbulent 1960s.
