In 1959, Russ and Bev are selling their desirable two-bedroom at a bargain price, unknowingly bringing the first black family into the neighborhood (borrowing a plot line from Lorraine Hansberry's \u003ci\u003eA Raisin in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e) and creating ripples of discontent among the cozy white residents of Clybourne Park. In 2009, the same property is being bought by a young white couple, whose plan to raze the house and start again is met with equal disapproval by the black residents of the soon-to-be-gentrified area. Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same, fifty years on? Bruce Norris's excruciatingly funny and squirm-inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClybourne Park\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Norris\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and an actor whose Pulitzer Prize- and Olivier Award-winning play \u003ci\u003eClybourne Park\u003c\/i\u003e premiered at Playwrights Horizons in January 2010.
