Clybourne Park explodes in two outrageous acts set 60 years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as white community leaders try to stop the sale of a home to a black family.

Feuding theater critics, Moon and Birdboot-the first a fusty philanderer and the second a pompous and vindictive second-stringer-are swept into the whodunit they're reviewing. In this hilarious spoof, an Agatha Christie-like melodrama unfolds in a fast-paced romp to find the real culprit.
