About the play Clybourne Park and 2020 revival production
The Bruce Norris play explores themes of gentrification and the demographic changes that occur in a suburban neighbourhood over time. With the story centring on the same house over the span of several decades, the Clybourne Park plot opens with white couple Russ and Bev selling their house to the first black family in the neighbourhood following the untimely death of their son.
The story then slips decades into the future when Clybourne Park is now a predominantly black neighbourhood. The roles are reversed when a white couple is looking to buy the same house, begging the question: are the same issues of community showdown still present behind the facade of a single-family home?
The Off West End Clybourne Park revival is booking from 25 March until 2 May 2020 at the Park Theatre in London. The play received its UK premiere back in 2010 at the Royal Court Theatre in a production directed by Dominic Cooke — who was recently announced to be directing the forthcoming Bob Marley bio-musical, Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Story, starring Arinzé Kene.
Clybourne Park has received numerous major theatre awards, including the 2011 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play, the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.
