""'Love to all, Lorraine', is a one-woman one act play on the life of the late playwright and Civil Rights activist Lorraine Hansberry. Written and performed by Elizabeth Van Dyke, 'Lorraine' weaves together, in a train of consciousness, significant periods of the playwright's life that include memories of being raised in a family that refused to be humbled by racial prejudice, learning African History from W.E.B. DuBois and working for Paul Robeson, marrying a man of Jewish heritage and struggling to write during a losing battle with cancer. ... 'Lorraine' depicts a woman struggling for dignity for herself and her people during a seminal period for the American Civil Rights movement."--1983 Peabody Awards entry form excerpt. The play is set in the home of Lorraine Hansberry as she prepares to enter the hospital for cancer treatment."@en
