| Successful American Negro Theatre production about a prostitute (Hilda Simms) who is redeemed by the unconditional love of her husband (Earle Hyman). The performances of the family members gained repeated praise from the critics, in particular Canada Lee, Rosetta LeNoire, Frederick O'Neal, and Alice Childress. Several cast members made notable achievements later in their careers, including O'Neal who became the first black president of the Actors' Equity Association, and Hyman who became very well known in the 1980's as Russell Huxtable on "The Cosby Show". |
