Clybourne Park

Marietta Theatre
11 Whitlock Ave Marietta, GA 30064

Playwright Bruce Norris' clever and provocative satire puts a new spin on Lorraine Hansberry's landmark A Raisin in the Sun, contrasting the same cultural issues in a northwest Chicago neighborhood 50 years apart. In 1959, a white couple sets off a community controversy when they inadvertently sell their bungalow to the area's first black family. Half a century later, gentrification issues arise when a black couple clashes with a white couple who wants to buy and remodel the same bungalow. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2010 and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, the razor-sharp Clybourne Park now comes to Marietta's New Theatre in the Square on the heels of the company's production of A Raisin in the Sun.
