The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window (1972, Hal Linden)

Lorraine Hansberry’s brilliant contemporary drama 'The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window' received a powerful, highly celebrated Broadway revival at the Longacre Theatre in 1972, completing an accomplished commercial engagement. Set inside a bohemian apartment flat in Greenwich Village, the textually rich naturalistic narrative follows an idealistic intellectual and his independent wife whose stable social networks and marriage entry an existential crisis when he purchases a local counter-cultural community newspaper, unpeeling political rifts and deceptions. Directed by Alan Schneider, it starred Hal Linden.
