Synopsis

Book by Norris Bruce

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

An achingly intelligent study of middle-class hypocrisy. It's the funniest new play of the year. --Evening Standard

Not since the British premiere of David Mamet's Oleanna in 1993 has a play at the Royal Court set the audience on such a roar as Bruce Norris's Clybourne Park. There are moments when the mixture of laughter and disbelief among the audience, whose liberal pieties are challenged throughout, prove every bit as exciting as what's happening on stage. --Daily Telegraph

Thought-provoking, squirm-inducing and riotously funny...it reminds you of why you go to the theatre. --West End Whingers.com

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Clybourne Park is Bruce Norris's acerbically brilliant follow-up to his earlier hit, The Pain and the Itch. It's 1959. Russ and Bev are moving out of their desirable house in Clybourne Park. Their neighbours are alarmed because they have sold it to a black family. As the arguments rage and tensions rise, the real reason comes seeping to the surface... 50 years later, a young white couple are moving in to the same house, which has grown shabby over the years. At a meeting to discuss their planned improvements, the same but different racial resentments are once more uncovered.
