Bruce Norris' 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy-drama puts a new spin on Lorraine Hansberry's classic A Raisin in the Sun. The play cleverly examines both real estate and race relations in a northwest Chicago neighborhood fifty years apart. In 1959, a white couple sets off a community controversy when they inadvertently sell their bungalow to the area's first black family. Half-a-century later, gentrification issues arise when a black couple clashes with a white couple who want to buy and demolish the house. The same set of actors portray the couples in both time periods. The entire original Playwrights Horizons' off-Broadway cast, Crystal A. Dickinson, Brendan Griffin, Damon Gupton, Christina Kirk, Annie Parisse, Jeremy Shamos and Frank Wood, reunite along with original director Pam MacKinnon for this production at the Mark Taper Forum.

Excellent production with top-notch cast and funny, thought-provoking script. Evident why playwright and Northwestern University alumni Bruce Norris won the Pulitzer for it and why its next stop is Broadway. Definitely worth seeing.Written on Jan 24 2012

Really enjoyed this show. Fantastic acting and excellent pacing. Frank Wood is amazing. He is one of those rare actors who can come on stage, not say a word, and you're mesmerized.Written on Feb 08 2012
I found myself thinking about the plot for days after... Definitely one of the better shows I've seen this year.

"Clybourne Park" was actually really good, funny and thought provoking.Written on Feb 02 2012
It was a slight convoluted reverse version of "A Raisin In The Sun".
Ok it showed the view from the white couple that was selling the house & a few neighbors on Clybourne st. You received a view of their fears upfront and personal. Their fear that Negro's moving in the neighborhood will taint their pristine neighborhood and lower property values among other things.
It had loads of modern day bigotry and understated racism that alot of us human's still participate in sadly. It was a great story and performance.
I left thinking about the world we live in today. Not much progressive change in regards to race relations. Go see it for yourself.
