<DIV><P><I>Clybourne Park</I> spans two generations fifty years apart. In 1959, Russ and Bev are selling their desirable two-bedroom at a bargain price, unknowingly bringing the first black family into the neighborhood (borrowing a plot line from Lorraine Hansberry’s <I>A Raisin in the Sun</I>) and creating ripples of discontent among the cozy white residents of Clybourne Park. In 2009, the same property is being bought by a young white couple, whose plan to raze the house and start again is met with equal disapproval by the black residents of the soon-to-be-gentrified area. Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same, fifty years on? Bruce Norris’s excruciatingly funny and squirm-inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property.</P><P><I>Clybourne Park</I> is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play. </DIV>
