Clybourne Park

Norris's play nails the thorny subject of race relations with a bilious zest that takes one's breath away.

Why see Clybourne Park?
In 1959 Russ and Bev are selling their desirable two-bed at a knock-down price. This enables the first Black family to move into the neighbourhood, creating ripples of discontent amongst the cosy white urbanites of Clybourne Park.
In 2009, the same property is being bought by Lindsey and Steve whose plans to raze the house and start again is met with a similar response.
Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same fifty years on? Bruce Norris’ (The Pain and the Itch) hilarious satire explores the fault line between race and property.
Winner of The Critics Circle Best Play award and The South bank show theatre award.
