Clybourne Park / by Bruce Norris.

115 p. ; 20 cm.

"First performance at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, Sloane Square, London on Thursday 26, August 2010. Playwrights Horizons, Inc., New York City produced the World Premiere of Clybourne Parkk Off-Broadway in 2010."

Who are the people in your neighborhood? In 1959, a white family moves out. In 2009, a white family moves in. In the intervening years, change overtakes a neighborhood, along with attitudes, inhabitants, and property values. Loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun", Bruce Norris's pitch-black comedy takes on the specter of gentrification in our communities, leaving no stone unturned in the process.
