Clybourne Park

Written by Bruce Norris
Directed by Alan Demovsky

An ingenious plot promotes this award-winning play (Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Play of 2012, and the 2011 Pulitzer Prize) to “instant classic” status. Continuing from Lorraine Hansberry’s 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun, the show is set at 406 Clybourne Street, the “sunny home with a garden” in a white neighborhood where the African-American Younger family plans to move in order to escape Chicago’s South Side poverty. Act I takes place just before that move, while Act II takes place in the same living room 50 years later, as the neighborhood gentrifies. Incredibly sharp and funny dialogue “…raises smart ideas about great divides between races, classes and sexes, while also landing some stinging swats at lame political correctness.” NY DAILY NEWS
