About Clybourne Park
Recipient of the Tony Award® for Best Play and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
THE STORY: CLYBOURNE PARK explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as white community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.
Also winner of the 2011 Dramatists Guild Hull-Warriner’s Award.

“A theatrical treasure…Indisputably, uproariously funny.” —Entertainment Weekly.
“A savagely funny and insightful time bomb.” —The Hollywood Reporter.
