"You Can't Do That on Broadway!: A Raisin in the Sun and Other Theatrical Improbabilities," this serious, politically oriented memoir of the theatre also manages to be enormously entertaining, as producer Philip Rose recalls the comedy and conflict that so often rained on his crusade. The heart of the book is the story of how A Raisin In the Sun was brought to Broadway, and how Rose forged a lifelong bond between himself and Lorraine Hansberry and Sidney Poitier. Rose deals honestly with the troubling paradox of performing Raisin before sold-out, all-white audiences in Washington who gave the play standing ovations every night, at a time when white-flight was starting in the nation's capitol.
