Clybourne Park - Tapa blanda

An achingly intelligent study of middle-class hypocrisy. It's the funniest new play of the year. --Evening Standard

Not since the British premiere of David Mamet's Oleanna in 1993 has a play at the Royal Court set the audience on such a roar as Bruce Norris's Clybourne Park. There are moments when the mixture of laughter and disbelief among the audience, whose liberal pieties are challenged throughout, prove every bit as exciting as what's happening on stage. --Daily Telegraph

Thought-provoking, squirm-inducing and riotously funny...it reminds you of why you go to the theatre. --West End Whingers.com

Clybourne park had its UK premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London. Set in Chicago, the play "applies a modern twist to the issues of race and housing and aspirations for a better life." It is loosely based on real events. The first act depicts the racial atmosphere in Chicago in 1959. The second act is set in 2009 in the same house where a white couple wants to move into the now-gentrifying black neighborhood. The premise is gentrification, but Norris bares much more. He peels away layers of propriety with acuity, subtlety, and boldness.
