Want to direct Clybourne Park?

by Bruce Norris

(November 15 – 23, 2013)

Clybourne Park explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification. The play was written in response to Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun. It portrays fictional events set before and after the Hansberry play and is loosely based on historical events.

Scripts are on reserve for perusal at the Iowa City Public Library and the Coralville Public Library.
