Lorraine Hansberry's nearly forgotten play 'The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window' resurfaces at BAM, current as ever. McHenryJD reports
as his wife, the struggling actress Iris. The play follows Sidney as he gets involved with the campaign of a seemingly progressive politician and strains his marriage. Neither Isaac nor Brosnahan — who was coming off her title role in the series— knew much about the play before being approached for it. Both actors say they see Hansberry as exploring the limits of self-proclaimed allies.
“Sidney’s rage and the way it manifests has been an interesting thing to find,” says Isaac. “There’s a Greek tragedy at the center. He’s a character who seems to understand the way the world works, and then there’s a breaking apart of that in order for him to be able to see again.” Brosnahan prepares backstage. “Iris is described as very childlike, so I’ve been doing a lot of movement to loosen my body and let go of the center,” she says.
