CLYBOURNE PARK

Richly comic and unexpectedly moving . . . as unsettlingly immediate as it is exhilarating

San Francisco Chronicle

Winner of the 2010 London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best New Play and a "Top 10 of 2010" selection for Entertainment Weekly, the New Yorker, the New York Times, Time Out New York, and the Washington Post

Home is where the heart—and history—is in Clybourne Park, a "buzz-saw sharp new comedy" (The Washington Post) that cleverly spins the events of A Raisin in the Sun to tell an unforgettable new story about race and real estate in America. Act I opens in 1959, as a white couple sells their home to a black family, causing uproar in their middle-class Chicago neighborhood. Act II transports us to the same house in 2009, when the stakes are different, but the debate is strikingly familiar. Adamant provocateur Bruce Norris launches his characters into lightning-quick repartee as they scramble for control of the situation, revealing how we can—and can't—distance ourselves from the stories that linger in our houses.
