Step 3: Discuss the principal themes of your play within the cultural context of its time. Additionally, address the following: Although Raisin was written in the 1950s and Fences is set in the 1980s, both plays are still widely performed. What is it about your play that makes it especially relevant today? Point to specific scenes from the play to illustrate your view.
All posts should be thorough and clear, incorporating quotes from the text of the play to support your points.
