Clybourne Park

"Clybourne Park" is a play by Bruce Norris, serving as a provocative sequel to Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun." It explores themes of race, gentrification, and social change in two acts set 50 years apart in the same Chicago neighborhood. The first act deals with the resistance of white homeowners to a Black family moving in, while the second act shows the reverse scenario, where a white couple seeks to develop the area amidst changing demographics. The play offers sharp commentary on racial dynamics, property, and community, highlighting the ongoing struggles surrounding race and identity in America.
