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 \u003ci\u003eA Raisin in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e) 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eClybourne Park\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A spiky and damningly insightful new comedy.” —\u003ci\u003eBen Brantley, The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Superb, elegantly written, and hilarious.” —\u003ci\u003eJohn Lahr, The New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Courageous…Norris's elegantly structured play nails marital tensions as much as it does racial disharmony in an evening of ebullient provocation.” —\u003ci\u003eLyn Gardner, The Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner Pulitzer Prize - Winner (2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780865478688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40593152311502,"sku":"9780865478688","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_f7401f9f-65c0-474d-9b1b-627a17e8aaf0.jpg?v=1637782627","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780865478688","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
