Back on Feb. 1, to kick off Black History Month, we had a lively discussion of Audre Lorde's "biomythography," Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. A couple of you noted that Lorde mentions her admiration for Lorraine Hansberry, the black lesbian playwright best known for "A Raisin in the Sun," so I thought it only fitting to conclude the month by highlighting two Hansberry revivals. First, here are reviews in the New York Times and the Washington Post of her final play, "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window," which is back on Broadway through March 24. Second, The Economist's 1843 Magazine reviews a production of another Hansberry play, "Les Blancs."
