'The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window' Comes to Broadway

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 26, 2023

[REBROADCAST FROM February 16, 2023] In 1964, one of Lorraine Hansberry's final plays, "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window," debuted on Broadway, and closed days before Hansberry passed away at the age of 34. Earlier this year, the play was revived off-Broadway at BAM's Harvey Theater, starring Rachel Brosnahan and Oscar Isaac, who play a married couple in 1960's Greenwich Village with progressive ideals. Brosnahan and director Anne Kauffman join us to discuss their revival of "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window," which opens today on Broadway and is running at James Earl Jones Theatre through June 7.
