Description
Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris explores the fault line between race and property in two pivotal moments: 1959 and 2009. In each case, the sale of a desirable home sparks intense reactions from the local community. As tensions rise, long-held racial resentments are uncovered, revealing the deep-seated fears and anxieties that underpin the seemingly tranquil suburban landscape. This acerbically brilliant satire is a powerful examination of the complexities of human relationships and the enduring power of prejudice. First performed in New York City in 2010, Clybourne Park has received widespread critical acclaim for its unflinching portrayal of a deeply divided society.
