Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner follows a liberal, affluent white couple in 1960s San Francisco whose progressive values are tested when their daughter brings her Black physician fiancé home for dinner. The play explores the parents’ struggle to reconcile their publicly stated ideals with their personal feelings and hidden prejudices, while also confronting the potential disapproval of the fiancé’s own parents and the family’s long-serving, disapproving maid. The core of the story is the family’s confrontation with prejudice and the question of whether their values extend to their own home and family.
