A Raisin in the Sun

by

Lorraine Hansberry

Never appearing onstage, Willy Harris is Walter Lee’s supposed friend and business partner. Willy Harris swindles Walter Lee and Bobo out of their investments in the liquor store, disappearing with the money and leaving Walter in a state of despair and financial ruin. From the start, Ruth dislikes and distrusts Harris, calling him a “good-for-nothing loudmouth.”
