Seating chart & directions
CLYBOURNE PARK Presented by Playwrights Horizons.CLYBOURNE PARK is a World Premiere of a play by Bruce Norris. Directed by Pam MacKinnon.
Who are the people in your neighborhood? In 1959, a white family moves out. In 2009, a white family moves in. In the intervening years, change overtakes a neighborhood, along with attitudes, inhabitants, and property values. Loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, Bruce Norris's pitch-black comedy takes on the specter of gentrification in our communities, leaving no stone unturned in the process.
BRUCE NORRIS is the award-winning author of The Pain and the Itch (Playwrights Horizons, 2006/07) and The Unmentionables.
PAM MacKINNON's New York directing work includes The Four of Us (MTC), Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry (Second Stage), and Bach at Leipzig (NYTW).
Limited engagement: January 29th-March 7th only !
