About Clybourne Park
CLYBOURNE PARK played its final performance on September 2, 2012.
This wickedly funny and fiercely provocative play about race, real estate, and the volatile values of each won nearly every honor the theatre has to give, including the Tony Award® for Best Play, Olivier Award, the Evening Standard Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
CLYBOURNE PARK explodes in two outrageous acts set 50 years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification.
Honored, acclaimed and completely outrageous, CLYBOURNE PARK quickly became Broadway’s hottest ticket—and Tonyest address.
