Issues concerning black and white relations and personal human values are challenged in this very dramatic and frequently hilarious play. Clybourne Park was named one of the “Best Ten Plays of 2010” by The New York Times and by The London Times.
Act I: The year is 1959, in the high-end, white middle class Chicago neighborhood of Clybourne Park. Grieving parents are selling their house at less than fair market value. The family moving in is black—they are the Younger family from Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun. The move is challenged and debated by the white neighbors as they receive the news from Karl Lindner (a character from Hansberry's play).
Act II: Fifty years later, 2009. The house is changed considerably; it is now unoccupied. The neighborhood has also changed—now it is predominantly black. A white couple wishes to buy the house, have it razed, and re-build to their personal specifications, thus challenging the current neighbors and their feelings of loyalty to family traditions. Act 2 characters are different from Act I, yet played by the same actors.
