Bruce Norris's Clybourne Park, which will make its West Coast premiere at American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) in January, won the prestigious London Evening Standard Award for Best New Play last week and continues to receive critical acclaim in the United States: It has been named on the "Top Ten of 2010" lists of Entertainment Weekly, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

The new comedy acts as a precursor to the events of A Raisin in the Sun to tell an unforgettable new story about race and real estate in America. Act I opens in 1959, as a white couple sells their home to an African American family (the same home and same African American family as the subject matter for Loraine Hansberry's groundbreaking drama), causing uproar in their middle-class Chicago neighborhood. Act II transports us to the same house in 2009, when the stakes are different, but the debate is strikingly familiar. Amid lightning-quick repartee, the characters scramble for control of the situation, revealing how possibly the language has changed, but the conversation has remained eerily the same.
