Publisher Description

Embark on a theatrical journey across time with Bruce Norris' award-winning play, Clybourne Park.

This acclaimed work delves deep into themes of racial tension, societal norms, and the evolution of neighborhood dynamics, providing a profound, yet humorous, commentary on America's social landscape.

The story unfolds in two acts, each housed in the same iconic suburban home but separated by half a century. Norris artfully uses this setting to explore the complexities of race and property in America. In the 1959 segment, experience the struggle of integration as the house welcomes its first African-American residents, causing an uneasy stir within the homogeneously white community. Fast forward to 2009, witness history repeat itself as gentrification looms over the now predominantly Black neighborhood, causing new tensions.

Norris' skillful satire—both riotously funny and uncomfortable—has earned him prestigious accolades including the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, sealing Clybourne Park's status as a modern classic.
