Good Play, but not Entirely successful Review by: Bill from Long Beach, May 6, 2012 |
| Funny and thought-provoking, but maybe about too many things. I was a bit disappointed, but appreciated the acting and a play that deals with race relations to an extent. |

Go see if you get a chance

Dead End Review by: Mr. C, May 6, 2012 |
After reading the other reviews before I saw the show, I was not as disappointed as i would have been if I did not read the reviews. Definitely some of the actors were too loud and were not believable in their roles.
The plot was thin and could have been more developed. Only see it if yuo have discount tickets and you are not expecting a great show. |

Ugly stereotypes at its worse! skip this one if you truly want entertainment and not a mud fight! Review by: Brownsugar, Apr 29, 2012 |
| Saw this the last time, this must be a revival. Wonder how this happened, the play was horrible!!! if you want an afternoon of entertainment, this will not be the play. If you want politics at it worse, a bias view at that. I came away needing a shower. Especially if you are African American you will sit through all of the ugly, negative stereotypes. just to see the name of the play brought back the bad feelings I experienced after seeing this ... read more play. |

I hear the actors are great, but... Review by: Tom, Apr 19, 2012 |
| Saw this in a prevous incarnation and found it wholly dis-entertaining. Was a big hit in London, but race-wise London is somewhat behind the curve. May well be a critic's darlng here too, but the subject matter is old, old, old, as in 1950s Eisenhower old and if it is of any value at all it is only as an homage to "Raisin In The Sun" |

Skip This; Read A Raisin in the Sun Review by: Carol, Apr 17, 2012 |
| One can only wonder at awarding Clybourne Park’s winning the Olivier and Pulitzer Prizes for Drama 2011. The play, based on the classic A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry reprises some of the same characters, notably Karl Lindner, who tried to keep the black family out of the white enclave. Instead the play, a talky, tedious production devolves into crass racial and sexist jokes and Jerry Springer-like shouting matches between ... read more characters who go full tilt at one another so any dialog is indecipherable. This evening could have been a much welcome nap if only the volume had been turned down. It was an expensive migraine, full of sound and phooey signifying nothing, and it should have won the Pullet Surprise because it laid an egg. |

Pertinent...Thought-Provoking...and Humorous Review by: Drama Fan, Apr 12, 2012 |
| Clybourne Park is a play that we found relevant to our current lives. While it deals with "living together" issues in a suburban setting, it has applicability to how people relate to each other. The actors bring out viewpoints that provoke self-examination of internal values. The dialogue is lively with many humorous moments - especially during critical confrontations. An interesting show that causes further discussion on the way out ... read more of the theater. |
