Clybourne Park (2014)
Page Content
Clybourne Park takes one on a wickedly funny and disturbingly real encounter with racism and real estate. The same Chicago neighborhood is seen through black and white as time changes from 1959 to 2009. Brilliantly written, this searing satire picks up where Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun left off, then takes a sharp plot turn into the 21st century. How much has really changed? This piece is courageously honest and contains adult language, humor, and themes.
According to director Monica Hayes, "This is the only play in history to win the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award for Best New Play, and the Olivier Award for Best New Play in the same year. That has never happened before and it’s a very exciting thing that we get to do this play so soon after its Broadway run." (February 2014)
