WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best Play!
Clybourne Park, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Bruce Norris, will open on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre in a production directed by Pam McKinnon.
In Clybourne Park, which also won the Olivier Award for Best New Play, Norris imagines the history of one of the more important houses in literary history, both before and after it becomes a focal point in Lorraine Hansberry's classic "A Raisin in the Sun." In 1959, the house, which is located in a white neighborhood at 406 Clybourne St. in Chicago, is sold to an African-American family (the Younger family in "A Raisin in the Sun"). Then in 2009 after the neighborhood has changed into an African-American community, the house is sold to a white couple. It is through this prism of property ownership that Norris' lacerating sense of humor dissects race relations and middle class hypocrisies in America.

With the often-scathing, hilarious, and thought-provoking satire, Clybourne Park, now at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre -- two years after its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons -- playwright Bruce Norris proves once again why he's one of the theater world's shining lights, and why this play was so deserving of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize. And Pam McKinnon's expertly directed, thrillingly acted production does this extraordinary work full justice.
No doubt, there will be plenty of post-show discussion about the themes of racism and social change that Norris explores in the play -- while simultaneously splitting open your sides -- but savvy theatergoers will also be talking about the playwri[...]
