A Raisin in the Suna play by Lorraine Hansberry
I think it's possible I read this a long time ago, but I'd forgotten all the details so the players were new to me. Only the ending seemed familiar.
The cover blurb compared it to three other great American plays, rating it equal to them, but I'd rate it better if I'd read them all--Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey into Night, and The Glass Menagerie. This one has a strong, positive ending. Not fairy tale, but a chance of some real happiness at last. The odds were against these guys, but there's room to hope.
