BWW Reviews: Good Theater's CLYBOURNE PARK Takes Incisive Aim at Racism
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - October 07, 2013
Portland's (Maine) Good Theater opened its 2013-2014 season with an incisive production of Bruce Norris' 2011 Pultizer Prize winning drama, Clybourne Park. The play, inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, explores the issues of subtle, yet pervasive racism in a Chicago neighborhood, first in 1959 and then in 2009. That the characters in each half of the drama have different names and ostensibly different experiences is a bitter illusion. History not only repeats itself, albeit it in a more understated and sophisticated way, but it also painfully demonstrates that prejudice dies hard; even time, education, and improving economics do not erase deeply ingrained fears and intolerance.

From a bride who wears Isotoners to keep her 'cold feet' warm, to a man who loses his hearing every time the words 'I love you' are spoken; this perfect show for imperfect lovers will strike a resonant chord with anyone who's ever been in a relationship.
